/** Base class for sun.misc.Unsafe-based FieldAccessors for static
    fields. The observation is that there are only nine types of
    fields from the standpoint of reflection code: the eight primitive
    types and Object. Using class Unsafe instead of generated
    bytecodes saves memory and loading time for the
    dynamically-generated FieldAccessors. */
