As @JornVernee says, most of the times the fields are used together. Re. initialization cost, I agree with @liach as I have observed the same thing -- these helper method handles lead to some bytecode spinning -- which is better to delay if not strictly needed? ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/23720#discussion_r1975182862
