> java.lang.invoke has a few Holder classes in DirectMethodHandle, DelegatingMethodHandle, Invokers, and LambdaForm.
> 
> Currently, the comments simply refer to "Placeholder for xxx generated ahead-of-time".
> 
> However, they carry executed bytecode and show up in flame graphs. The current comments are definitely not sufficient for their details and purposes.
> 
> To address these shortcomings, I improved the comments on the Holder classes and GenerateJLIClassesHelper to briefly describe the generation process. In addition, I improved the comments on BoundMethodHandle to provide a more efficient overview.
