 * A symbolic reference obtained by cracking a method handle into its consitutent symbolic parts.

 * To crack a direct method handle, call {@link Lookup#revealDirect Lookup.revealDirect}.

 * <p>

 * A <em>direct method handle</em> represents a method, constructor, or field without

 * any intervening argument bindings or other transformations.

 * The method, constructor, or field referred to by a direct method handle is called

 * its <em>underlying member</em>.

 * Direct method handles may be obtained in any of these ways:

 * <ul>

 * <li>By executing an {@code ldc} instruction on a {@code CONSTANT_MethodHandle} constant.

 *     (See the Java Virtual Machine Specification, sections 4.4.8 and 5.4.3.)

 * <li>By calling one of the <a href="MethodHandles.Lookup.html#lookups">Lookup Factory Methods</a>,

 *     such as {@link Lookup#findVirtual Lookup.findVirtual},

 *     to resolve a symbolic reference into a method handle.

 *     A symbolic reference consists of a class, name string, and type.

 * <li>By calling the factory method {@link Lookup#unreflect Lookup.unreflect}

 *     or {@link Lookup#unreflectSpecial Lookup.unreflectSpecial}

 *     to convert a {@link Method} into a method handle.

 * <li>By calling the factory method {@link Lookup#unreflectConstructor Lookup.unreflectConstructor}

 *     to convert a {@link Constructor} into a method handle.

 * <li>By calling the factory method {@link Lookup#unreflectGetter Lookup.unreflectGetter}

 *     or {@link Lookup#unreflectSetter Lookup.unreflectSetter}

 *     to convert a {@link Field} into a method handle.

 * </ul>

 * In all of these cases, it is possible to crack the resulting direct method handle

 * to recover a symbolic reference for the underlying method, constructor, or field.

 * Cracking must be done via a {@code Lookup} object equivalent to that which created

 * the target method handle, or which has enough access permissions to recreate

 * an equivalent method handle.
