Author:colyer This subclass of UnwovenClassFile allows a third-party to manage the actual bytes that comprise the class. This
        means the third party can return a reference to an existing array, or create the bytes on demand, or apply any other
        strategy that makes sense. By refering to bytes held elsewhere, the goal is to reduce the overall memory consumption by
        not holding a copy.
