MethodHandle.bindTo chain fails with "IllegalArgumentException: no leading reference parameter"

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi,

below test fails with:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no leading reference parameter
	at java.base/java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleStatics.newIllegalArgumentException(MethodHandleStatics.java:134)
	at java.base/java.lang.invoke.MethodType.leadingReferenceParameter(MethodType.java:531)
	at java.base/java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle.bindTo(MethodHandle.java:1419)
	at Test.test(Test.java:35)
	at Test.main(Test.java:41)

Am I doing something wrong or is this case not yet supported?

Thanks,
Tobias
