Yes, you're right. Sorry about that.
There is no way to go from a _Jv_Field to the enclosing Class. You
have to just keep the class around. Presumably you had the class at
some earlier point, since you need the Class to get the _Jv_Field.
If you look at JNI you'll see that the `ToReflectedField' method
requires the user to pass in the Class by hand. _Jv_Field is
basically the same as jfieldID (by design).
