Hi,
this patch fixes a performance regression that has been picked up by our
internal test runs. Vicente did a great job at fixing some of the
excessive exception sharing that takes place in the compiler, as part of
[1], [2]. However, there's a very hot execution path (Resolve::reportMC)
in which we can't affort allocating a new exception every time a method
check fails.
This patch reintroduce some flyweight pattern for that particular case
only (along with some documentation which explains the hack :-)).
