    //
    // Clarification: A field is considered constant if:
    //   1. The field is both static and final
    //   2. The canonical holder of the field has undergone
    //      static initialization.
!   //   3. If the field is an object or array, then the oop
!   //      in question is allocated in perm space.
!   //   4. The field is not one of the special static/final
    //      non-constant fields.  These are java.lang.System.in
    //      and java.lang.System.out.  Abomination.
    //
    // A field is also considered constant if it is marked @Stable
    // and is non-null (or non-zero, if a primitive).
