[PROPOSAL][JDK10] Introduce Executable.getParameterType(index)

[Christoph Dreis]

Hi John,

>> this has a bigger impact on the overall footprint of Method/Executable objects. What are your thoughts on this?

Ah, so you would remove the current array field completely and replace it with the immutable List, right?
In that case I said nothing. I was thinking of a field on top.

Cheers,
Christoph
