There is no good solution for reading classes with ASM without direct
coding against concrete ASM-classes (the "normal" (visitor-based) way isn't
usable with reflection/proxying, because the visitors are in ASM >v3 classes
(no longer interfaces); the non-visitor-based ways (tree, SAX-events) require
optional ASM-libraries, whose existence must here surely not be assumed).
I see under this circumstances the only reasonable solution to extend the
current (self-made) byte-code-parser to handle the Java8-constants.
