FWIW I keep tripping over the prefix “ensures”. As I understand the
implementation initializes a class, if not already so (and it has to check as
you point out below). Focusing on the main action seems appropriate in this
regard. I expect John has more context on the naming.
One thing to mention is that some of the java.util classes have
ensureCapacity methods, also have an EnsureXXX methods in JNI to ensure
capacity. I've used ensureXXX in a few places to ensure that something
is done before going further. Is it that this ensure method returns the
Class rather than void?
