usage of Class#getSimpleName() in MethodType#toString()

[Jochen Theodorou]

Hi,

I just wanted to ask, why Class#getSimpleName() is used in 
MethodType#toString(). People knowing this method from Class will also 
know that getSimpleName makes assumption about the inner class names, 
that are based on the JLS, which allows only a fraction of the names the 
JVM allows. Resulting in things like this:

> java.lang.InternalError: Malformed class name
> at java.lang.Class.getSimpleName(Class.java:1317)
> at java.lang.invoke.MethodType.toString(MethodType.java:724)
> at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2979)
> at java.lang.StringBuilder.append(StringBuilder.java:131)
> at org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Selector$MethodSelector.<init>(Selector.java:477)

bye Jochen
