Review comment:
       I don't get why this doesn't use the error message with all of the 
problems listed. Wouldn't that be easier? The original `try` could be used, 
like this:
   
   ```java
       try {    
         ctor = 
DynConstructors.builder(Catalog.class).impl(impl).buildChecked();       
       } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {      
         throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(      
             "Cannot initialize Catalog implementation %s: %s", impl, 
e.getMessage()), e);      
       }
   ```
