Package access would be fine, but we'd be wasting one more method
invocation. It could have been made private, but then the Java
compiler would create an artificial method with package access for the
inner class to invoke, and I thought it would be nicer to get rid of
it. But I'm facing some trouble with `$' in identifiers; perhaps we
should make Thread.Finalizer a top-level class instead of an inner
class, so as to avoid the `$'... What do you think?
