When disassembled using the builder format, a valid Java source file is generated which when compiled and run, rebuilds the original class. This demonstrates how to use Cojen, and it also allows Java classes to be modified when source code is not available.

Even if the generated class file builder is run without modification, the emitted class file will likely produce a different binary representation than the original class. This is because Cojen re-orders the class constant pool and reduces local variable usage.
