Oh, you didn't like the cute name I coined! I really liked metamorphose() since it captures that the Type starts out in larval form where not much is known about and evolves into a full blown form in stages through metamorphosis!

No matter, I am not wedded to the name,  I will add a note to JDK-8268734 to follow up

Right.
