I got this sort-of-working (with some testsuite failures,
that are probably fixable), by hacking object.java (which is used
to "syntax-expand" define-simple-class).

However, I think it might be more general and less fragile
to change this at bytecode-generating time, in SetExp.java.
(A minor downside is you might get a useless empty <clinit>
method, but that's acceptable, I think.)

I'll look into this approach shortly, perhaps in the morning.
