Isolated Methods JEP

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Michael,

Love the overall idea.  A few thoughts (feel free to ignore as I'm by no
means an expert in the VM).

* Is there a risk that Gargantuan can expand to infinite size?

* I'm really nervous about the security implications of being able to load
an arbitrary byte[] that can be executed as a method. I'm hoping that the
use of the internal Unsafe + Jigsaw's module boundaries makes this secure.
Lots of really, really smart people have looked at the security
implications of this, right? :-)

* Gargantuan - Appreciate it's a placeholder but I can't say I like the
name, it doesn't tell me what it does on the tin.

Cheers,
Martijn
