If this property is set to true, non-generic TypeDefinitions do no longer resolve their referenced
generic types when traversing type hierarchies. Setting this property can cause unexpected side effects such as
ClassCastExceptions from overridden methods as type variables are resolved to their erasures where a method
might return that is unexpected by the callee. Setting this property also makes type annotations unavailable using
such type navigation.
Setting this property can be useful if generic type information is not required in order to avoid bugs in implementations of the JVM where processing generic types can cause segmentation faults. Byte Buddy will undertake a best effort to retain the generic type information and information about type annotations within the redefined types' class files. Typically, this property can be meaningful in combination with a Java agent that only changes byte code without changing a class type's structure.
