> As John Rose has pointed out in this issue, the current j.l.r.Proxy based implementation of MethodHandleProxies.asInterface has a few issues:
> 1. Exposes too much information via Proxy supertype (and WrapperInstance interface)
> 2. Does not allow future expansion to support SAM[^1] abstract classes
> 3. Slow (in fact, very slow)
> 
> This patch addresses all 3 problems:
> 1. It implements proxies with one hidden class for each requested interface and replaced WrapperInstance inheritance with a check to the class data. This can avoid unexpected passing of `instanceof`, and avoids the nasty problem of exporting a JDK interface to a dynamic module to ensure access.
> 2. This patch obtains already generated classes from a ClassValue by the requested interface type; the ClassValue can later be updated to compute implementation generation for abstract classes as well.
> 3. This patch's generated hidden classes has call performance on par with those of lambda expressions; the creation performance is slightly less than that of LambdaMetafactory: https://jmh.morethan.io/?gist=fcb946d83ee4ac7386901795ca49b224
> 
> Additionally, an obsolete `ProxyForMethodHandle` test was removed, for it's no longer applicable. Tests in `jdk/java/lang/invoke` and `jdk/java/lang/reflect` pass.
> 
> [^1]: single abstract method
