This method was added prior to `MethodTypeDesc`.
MethodTypeDesc::ofDescriptor` and `MethodTypeDesc::resolveConstantDesc` would
be the alternative way to get back the method type. I tend to think that
`descriptorString` would not need that distinct class loader note (as it would
use the Lookup class to resolve instead).
