-/**
- * A Java method handle is a deprecated proposal for extending
- * the basic method handle type with additional
- * programmer defined methods and fields.
- * Its behavior as a method handle is determined at instance creation time,
- * by providing the new instance with an "entry point" method handle
- * to handle calls.  This entry point must accept a leading argument
- * whose type is the Java method handle itself or a supertype, and the
- * entry point is always called with the Java method handle itself as
- * the first argument.  This is similar to ordinary virtual methods, which also
- * accept the receiver object {@code this} as an implicit leading argument.
- * The {@code MethodType} of the Java method handle is the same as that
- * of the entry point method handle, with the leading parameter type
- * omitted.
- * <p>
- * Here is an example of usage, creating a hybrid object/functional datum:
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- * class Greeter extends JavaMethodHandle {
- *     private String greeting = "hello";
- *     public void setGreeting(String s) { greeting = s; }
- *     public void run() { System.out.println(greeting+", "+greetee); }
- *     private final String greetee;
- *     Greeter(String greetee) {
- *         super(RUN); // alternatively, super("run")
- *         this.greetee = greetee;
- *     }
- *     // the entry point function is computed once:
- *     private static final MethodHandle RUN
- *         = MethodHandles.lookup().findVirtual(Greeter.class, "run",
- *               MethodType.make(void.class));
- * }
- * // class Main { public static void main(String... av) { ...
- * Greeter greeter = new Greeter("world");
- * greeter.run();  // prints "hello, world"
- * // Statically typed method handle invocation (most direct):
- * MethodHandle mh = greeter;
- * mh.&lt;void&gt;invokeExact();  // also prints "hello, world"
- * // Dynamically typed method handle invocation:
- * MethodHandles.invokeExact(greeter);  // also prints "hello, world"
- * greeter.setGreeting("howdy");
- * mh.invokeExact();  // prints "howdy, world" (object-like mutable behavior)
- * </pre></blockquote>
- * <p>
- * In the example of {@code Greeter}, the method {@code run} provides the entry point.
- * The entry point need not be a constant value; it may be independently
- * computed in each call to the constructor.  The entry point does not
- * even need to be a method on the {@code Greeter} class, though
- * that is the typical case.
- * <p>
- * The entry point may also be provided symbolically, in which case the the
- * {@code JavaMethodHandle} constructor performs the lookup of the entry point.
- * This makes it possible to use {@code JavaMethodHandle} to create an anonymous
- * inner class:
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- * // We can also do this with symbolic names and/or inner classes:
- * MethodHandles.invokeExact(new JavaMethodHandle("yow") {
- *     void yow() { System.out.println("yow, world"); }
- * });
- * </pre></blockquote>
- * <p>
- * Here is similar lower-level code which works in terms of a bound method handle.
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- *     class Greeter {
- *         public void run() { System.out.println("hello, "+greetee); }
- *         private final String greetee;
- *         Greeter(String greetee) { this.greetee = greetee; }
- *         // the entry point function is computed once:
- *         private static final MethodHandle RUN
- *             = MethodHandles.findVirtual(Greeter.class, "run",
- *                   MethodType.make(void.class));
- *     }
- *     // class Main { public static void main(String... av) { ...
- *     Greeter greeter = new Greeter("world");
- *     greeter.run();  // prints "hello, world"
- *     MethodHandle mh = MethodHanndles.insertArgument(Greeter.RUN, 0, greeter);
- *     mh.invokeExact();  // also prints "hello, world"
- * </pre></blockquote>
- * Note that the method handle must be separately created as a view on the base object.
- * This increases footprint, complexity, and dynamic indirections.
- * <p>
- * Here is a pure functional value expressed most concisely as an anonymous inner class:
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- *     // class Main { public static void main(String... av) { ...
- *     final String greetee = "world";
- *     MethodHandle greeter = new JavaMethodHandle("run") {
- *         private void run() { System.out.println("hello, "+greetee); }
- *     }
- *     greeter.invokeExact();  // prints "hello, world"
- * </pre></blockquote>
- * <p>
- * Here is an abstract parameterized lvalue, efficiently expressed as a subtype of MethodHandle,
- * and instantiated as an anonymous class.  The data structure is a handle to 1-D array,
- * with a specialized index type (long).  It is created by inner class, and uses
- * signature-polymorphic APIs throughout.
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- *     abstract class AssignableMethodHandle extends JavaMethodHandle {
- *       private final MethodHandle setter;
- *       public MethodHandle setter() { return setter; }
- *       public AssignableMethodHandle(String get, String set) {
- *         super(get);
- *         MethodType getType = this.type();
- *         MethodType setType = getType.insertParameterType(getType.parameterCount(), getType.returnType()).changeReturnType(void.class);
- *         this.setter = MethodHandles.publicLookup().bind(this, set, setType);
- *       }
- *     }
- *     // class Main { public static void main(String... av) { ...
- *     final Number[] stuff = { 123, 456 };
- *     AssignableMethodHandle stuffPtr = new AssignableMethodHandle("get", "set") {
- *         public Number get(long i)           { return stuff[(int)i]; }
- *         public void   set(long i, Object x) {        stuff[(int)i] = x; }
- *     }
- *     int x = (Integer) stuffPtr.&lt;Number&gt;invokeExact(1L);  // 456
- *     stuffPtr.setter().&lt;void&gt;invokeExact(0L, (Number) 789);  // replaces 123 with 789
- * </pre></blockquote>

- * @deprecated The JSR 292 EG intends to replace {@code JavaMethodHandle} with
