Hmmm ... the version I wrote does maintain a *kind* of "repository"
of superclass/superinterface information gathered from each class
processed by the ClassAdapter. It does assume that:

a) all superclasses / superinterfaces are processed; and

b) they are processed before the class that inherits from them.

That is natural in the way of class loaders, but perhaps not
universal for rewriters. It could be that in general there needs
to be a way to request and load information about superclasses /
superinterfaces if they have not yet been seen.  In my particular
application that would not happen.  However, it would not be
difficult to adjust the code to provide a method, that one might
override, to try to obtain information in that case, and to fail
if it cannot be obtained ...
