Latest Thinking

[Howard Lovatt]

A couple of comments on the current MethodHandle API:

1. Having only one bootstrap method for InvokeDynamic is a bit
limiting, it it possible to have one per use site?
2. Has thought been given to using the .( args ) notation (or what
ever it ends up as) from lambda dev for invokeGeneric( args )?
3. Are there plans to add MethodHandle literals, e.g. Class#method( types )?
4. Assuming 3 above; are there plans for a binding literal, e.g.
MethodHandle addA = String#concat( String, "A" )?

I am sure these items have been already discussed in the expert group,
just wondering what the latest thinking is.
