The use of `HashMap` naturally feels alarming given this method is invoked in a
concurrent context. I just want to make sure that:
1. `HashMap` will never have structural modifications when read access is
performed (some data structures like treap do). Don't know if we have a test to
verify such an intended usage, as we would hurt badly if this implied property
suddenly no longer exist.
2. The `archivedMethodTypes` must be properly published so we won't read a
partial `HashMap`. I've heard of talks about concurrent VM bootstraping so I
need some help to understand how this is ensured in bootstrap.
