JDK-8199560: Dynamic evaluation for binding.When

[Kevin Rushforth]

Conceptually what you describe sounds like a good approach to explore.

Another approach worth exploring is to see whether this can be done 
without API change, using the existing API.  I took a (very quick) look 
and didn't see anything that would preclude fixing this using the 
existing API, nor does the specification (javadoc-generated API docs) 
mandate the current behavior of eagerly evaluating both the "then" and 
"otherwise" conditions. Since it was only a quick look, I can't be sure.
