Hi John!

I was looking at your method handle changeset and I was wondering if in 
the long run method handles will be serializable?
Thinking about (serializable) continuations it would be very convenient 
if method handles would behave like java.lang.Class (which are 
serializable).
Currently if you want to store a continuation you have to work around 
the fact that reflect.Method isn't serializable...
