what's John doing?

[John Rose]

Last Saturday around midnight the first method handle invocation went  
through.  It was a virtual call, equivalent to:
   Object x = "foo";
   foo.toString();

See MethodHandleBytecodeTest.testToString in the push I just did:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/hotspot/

Next up, adapter method handles.
