InlineTree::_caller_jvms is not a deep clone of the JVMS and thus has no map; it's just used as a container for method and bci.  In fact, as I mentioned in my original email, we should remove InlineTree::_caller_jvms since it's not of much use but that's for another bug.

"receiver", yes.  The methods are static but the first argument is always a MethodHandle.

I can but it's probably not necessary.  If it's truly a recursive call even the CheckCastPP node should be the same, right?
