So the inner classes are inaccessible from outside ? (unlike nested
classes ?)

Like, I'm thinking about having an extra arg for each inner class 
constructor (just like ^Tum suggested you to emulate) and pull the
"this" reference from wherever it's called and push into "parent" ?.

I'll investigate using the bytecode jikes generates ...
