Yes, of course. I'm not arguing against including the code. I'm just
mentioning limitation that you or other people might not be aware of.

The limitation I'm mentioning above is pretty "visible" as it affects
the first thing you'd want to do with the java package: creating an
object or calling a static method (you have to use java_new or
java_invoke functions instead).
