I actually meant what Per is hinting at. Defining static MethodHandle/VarHandle in a class at class initialization time, without the ceremony of handling ReflectiveOperationException and throwing ExceptionInInitializerError. 

I could be mistaken but I think this is probably how most MethodHandle/VarHandles are defined.
But I understand reason not to add these methods.
