Currently the method is implemented like
public List<Class<?>> parameterList() {
return Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList(ptypes.clone()));
}
This seems to be excessive, as three objects are allocated here. Instead we can use `List.of(ptypes)` which doesn't allocate anything for empty array and for one of length 1 and 2 it allocates lightweight objects with 2 fields, still copying longer arrays. This is likely to be fruitful as most of methods have 0-2 parameters.
Also there is a couple of cases when `MethodType.parameterLis()` is called to get its size, which is excessive either as we can use `MethodType.parameterCount()` instead.
