We do store the fields in order. The bug here is that in
Class.internalGetFields we put them into a Set and then later turn
that set into an array.
I think the simplest fix is to use a LinkedHashSet (or TreeSet I
suppose) instead of a HashSet here. internalGetFields looks quite
inefficient. It could be improved in other ways.

Yeah, this does look cool. It is similar to what I was attempting
with GDirect, except actually complete. :-)
