Review Request: JDK-8225462: [lworld] MethodHandle support of the static <init> factory method

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Mandy,

On the renaming to ObjectConstructor, can it be more specific to 
reference object types (if that terminology is settled).
(inline class values are Objects too).
(I suppose it will be easy to do a global search/replace later).

InfoFromMemberName:

117/121: Would the message be clearer as?

"object constructor must have return type void"

"inline class constructor must have return type " + 
getDeclaringClass().getName()


Looks ok, Roger

Harold has proposed a fix in comments for 8225079.
