09:33 <kares[m]> * in terms of the Ruby API: `configure_java_class` on Class maybe it can live elsewhere but given it's only there when require 'jruby/..' and not implicitly I am fine with that.

09:33 <kares[m]> it has consequences - if the refererence has any kind of JRuby API it will end up setting up stuff such as NEVER and lead to invalid classes when users try to walk all Class instances

09:33 <kares[m]> stuff such as `JRuby.reference0` is usually a smell to me that we need to expose a helper or that code should live in Java (we've been trying to avoid reflecting JRuby's Java classes).

20:19 <byteit101[m]> kares: I copied the reference0 idiom from surrounding code. How should I go about it then?
