> Involves: checkValuesStringConstant calls ImmutablePropertyUtils.builtinOrMarkedImmutableClass, whose class initialiser builds ClassNodes through ClassHelper, which reflects over the JDK types. The two checks it needs, a name set and an annotation test, belong in a runtime utility that the AST utility delegates to.
> Impact on normal usage: positive. The first GString with a non-trivial value stops loading a few dozen compiler classes, and native-image reachability shrinks accordingly. Behaviour is unchanged. This one is worth doing regardless of Android.
