Thank you! I think it's enough. Looks good.

The test was based on an earlier name for this method so I renamed it (from InitializeConfigurationTest to ReadConfigurationTest). I added some basic tests for the internal integrity of the VMIntrinsicMethods in the configuration:

I won’t argue strongly that it makes a big difference but since the one-element cache (per VMIntrinsicMethod string field) is fast and cheap, I don’t see why not to use it. The alternative code would look something like this:
