 * considered live, the atoms it depends on at load time should also be live.

 * 

 * A class literal depends on the strings contained in its instantiation
 * instruction.
 *
 * Types depend on their supertype.
 *
 * Instance methods depend on their enclosing type.
 *
 * Static fields that are initialized to strings depend on the string they
 * are initialized to.
