> `MethodHandle.asTypeCache` keeps a strong reference to adapted `MethodHandle` and it can introduce a class loader leak through its `MethodType`.
>
> Proposed fix introduces a 2-level cache (1 element each) where 1st level can only contain `MethodHandle`s which are guaranteed to not introduce any dependencies on new class loaders compared to the original `MethodHandle`. 2nd level is backed by a `SoftReference` and is used as a backup when the result of `MethodHandle.asType()` conversion can't populate the higher level cache.
>
> The fix is based on [the work](http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/MethodHandle.asTypeCacheLeak/) made by Peter Levart @plevart back in 2015.
>
> Testing: tier1 - tier6
