Nitpicking, but it doesn't really do that, does it. It opens a .class 
file of the name the user specified, loads the class(es) it contains, 
and tries to find the classname it was looking for among those classes. 
It doesn't explicitly compare the filename and the classname. The 
operating system gave it HelloWorld.class in response to 
'helloworld.class' because that's how the OS file system happened to work.
