The order of preference for changes are: 1. change the types to more distinct types (fields in the constant pool are u2 because that's their size in the classfile), 2. add direct int casts if the value has been checked in asserts above, and 3. checked_cast<> if not verified, and 4. added some pointer_delta_as_ints where needed.

find it in the PR so responding via email.
