> Hi,
> 
>  The constant pool currently has a lot of methods specific to extracting parts of the operands array. What this array actually is, is a sequence of bootstrap method attribute entries, where each entry has the following components:
> 
> ```c++
> struct BSMAE {
>   u2 bootstrap_method_index;
>   u2 argument_count;
>   u2 arguments[argument_count];
> }
> 
> 
> We can removes some of these operands array specific methods, and instead allows you to extract BSMAttributeEntrys which you can then use to extract its piece wise components. This makes for a nicer interface, and a bit easier to come into as a reader of the code, as it more closely mirrors the JVMS.

> Please consider!

> Testing: Currently GHA, running tier1-tier3
