You can file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org against Rhino, mark it as 
enhacment and add the patch there. But note that to set the class name 
you need to add the method to ClassCompiler which provides public API 
for class compilation used by jsc, and not CompilerEnvirons which is 
shared by interpreter and compiler and should not have any 
compiler-specific methods.
