In my previous attempts when I was modifying the ProxyGenerator I noticed that generated proxy fields holding Method objects are just "static" but could be "static final". If they were "static final", JIT could constant-fold the Method instances. If this was combined with marking some fields in Method as @Stable, this could improve optimization of code a bit further. I did this with the following patch:

But this can be changed as a follow-up patch that also takes care of Constructor and Field.
