Currently, the VH passed to linkToStatic-linked implementation methods must be of the correct implementation type. As a result, we have to at least add an `asDirect` call when we pass the VH instance, like the invocation for indirect VH's MHs. Would that be an acceptable refactor, or is that too costly as after constant folding, the two VHs already have similar performance? ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/13821#issuecomment-1574393507
