Existing `ObjectMethods::bootstrap` already achieves the same functionality in a better way (though the user code looks a bit more conplex), as its produced MethodHandle can be stored in a static final field and constant-fold by the JIT, while this method's argument array can't as Java arrays are not constants, and this method is polymorphic. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17603#issuecomment-1913188740
