> While we're in the midst of bringing BCEL up to date, can we remove the  unnecessary code.
> It is unlikely that any application needs to serialize BCEL state and the class that BCEL generates is already "serialized".  (And serializatoin is hard to get right)
> It is unlikely that opcodes or instructions need to be compared, so equals/hashCode is excess.
> Cloning is hard to get right and probably not necessary.
