Hi,
this followup change includes a number of tweaks that have been added to
the memory access API while we were in the process of integrating it.
Most of them have been contributed by Chris (thanks!), and are all
listed in great details in the CSR below:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246096
Implementation-wise it should be all relatively straightforward - apart
for the bit of surgery on lambda forms which was required to add a new
kind of lambda forms to 'collect' return values. For now this method
handle adaptation is package private, and can only be used by
MemoryHandles::filterValues - but, if people find it useful, we might
consider adding it to the MethodHandle standard combinator toolbox.
Cheers
Maurizio
