A reference to a method must be resolved at compile time to a symbolic reference to the erasure (§4.6 <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-4.html#jls-4.6>) of the qualifying type of the invocation, plus the erasure of the signature ( §8.4.2 <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-8.html#jls-8.4.2>) of the method. I'm getting the impression here that the ABI follows the same rules as using MethodHandle.invokeExact().
