Efficient key class, used instead of using Class. The reason for having a separate key class instead of directly using Class as key is mostly to allow for redefining hashCode method -- for some strange reason, Class does not redefine Object.hashCode and thus uses identity hash, which is pretty slow. This makes key access using Class unnecessarily slow. 

Note: since class is not strictly immutable, caller must
know what it is doing, if changing field values.
Since:
