    33  * An ordered sequence of constants, some of which may not yet
       
    34  * be present.  This type is used by {@link BootstrapCallInfo}
       
    35  * to represent the sequence of bootstrap arguments associated
       
    36  * with a bootstrap method, without forcing their immediate
       
    37  * resolution.
       
    38  * <p>
       
    39  * If you use the
       
    40  * {@linkplain ConstantGroup#get(int) simple get method},
       
    41  * the constant will be resolved, if this has not already
       
    42  * happened.  An occasional side effect of resolution is a
       
    43  * {@code LinkageError}, which happens if the system
       
    44  * could not resolve the constant in question.
       
    45  * <p>
       
    46  * In order to peek at a constant without necessarily
       
    47  * resolving it, use the
       
    48  * {@linkplain ConstantGroup#get(int,Object)
       
    49  * non-throwing get method}.
       
    50  * This method will never throw a resolution error.
       
    51  * Instead, if the resolution would result in an error,
       
    52  * or if the implementation elects not to attempt
       
    53  * resolution at this point, then the method will
       
    54  * return the user-supplied sentinel value.
       
    55  * <p>
       
    56  * To iterate through the constants, resolving as you go,
       
    57  * use the iterator provided on the {@link List}-typed view.
       
    58  * If you supply a sentinel, resolution will be suppressed.
       
    59  * <p>
       
    60  * Typically the constant is drawn from a constant pool entry
       
    61  * in the virtual machine. Constant pool entries undergo a
       
    62  * one-time state transition from unresolved to resolved,
       
    63  * with a permanently recorded result.  Usually that result
       
    64  * is the desired constant value, but it may also be an error.
       
    65  * In any case, the results displayed by a {@code ConstantGroup}
       
    66  * are stable in the same way.  If a query to a particular
       
    67  * constant in a {@code ConstantGroup} throws an exception once,
       
    68  * it will throw the same kind of exception forever after.
       
    69  * If the query returns a constant value once, it will return
       
    70  * the same value forever after.
       
    71  * <p>
       
    72  * The only possible change in the status of a constant is
       
    73  * from the unresolved to the resolved state, and that
       
    74  * happens exactly once.  A constant will never revert to
       
    75  * an unlinked state.  However, from the point of view of
       
    76  * this interface, constants may appear to spontaneously
       
    77  * resolve.  This is so because constant pools are global
       
    78  * structures shared across threads, and because
       
    79  * prefetching of some constants may occur, there are no
       
    80  * strong guarantees when the virtual machine may resolve
       
    81  * constants.
       
    82  * <p>
       
    83  * When choosing sentinel values, be aware that a constant
       
    84  * pool which has {@code CONSTANT_Dynamic} entries
       
    85  * can contain potentially any representable value,
       
    86  * and arbitrary implementations of {@code ConstantGroup}
       
    87  * are also free to produce arbitrary values.
       
    88  * This means some obvious choices for sentinel values,
       
    89  * such as {@code null}, may sometimes fail to distinguish
       
    90  * a resolved from an unresolved constant in the group.
       
    91  * The most reliable sentinel is a privately created object,
       
    92  * or perhaps the {@code ConstantGroup} itself.
