 /**
- * Cracking (reflecting) method handles back into their constituent symbolic parts.
+ * 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.
  *
+ * <h1><a name="refkinds"></a>Reference kinds</h1>
+ * The <a href="MethodHandles.Lookup.html#lookups">Lookup Factory Methods</a>
+ * correspond to all major use cases for methods, constructors, and fields.
+ * These use cases may be distinguished using small integers as follows:
