:-)  If we keep it, we are likely to give it a more distinctive name, like "asInterfaceInstance".  Also (or instead), it may be moved into its own class, since it disturbs the rule that MethodHandles a factory for method handles.

E.g.:  java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleProxies.asInterfaceInstance(Class<?> intfc, MethodHandle mh).
