RFR: Lambda 8026213: Reflection support for private methods in interfaces

[Joel Borggren-Franck]

Hi Karen,

I agree with the others, the code looks good though I like Paul's
suggestion.

Silly question perhaps, do you know if we have good test coverage on
actually reflectively invoking a Method more than 15 times?

cheers
