Description

This call is delegated to SyntheticRepostitory loadClass. This method doesn't check for loaded classes. This prevents memory only JavaClass's to be verified. Repository#add adds such JavaClass's to the loaded classes hash, but the validator only calls lookupClass. one of the two has to check for loaded classes, for two reasons.
a) performance
b) verifying classes hold in memory
