I have a case in JRuby where I need to return one of the incoming arguments as the result of the call, and I can't figure out how to do it with MethodHandle alone.
Basically, any Ruby code that looks like this: a.foo = 'bar' ...or this: a[1] = 'bar' ...needs to return the RHS, not the result of the assignment call. Without invokedynamic I do this by passing my call site cache into another method that does the call and then just returns the RHS rather than the result of the call. I'm trying to formulate a set of MethodHandle transforms that will do the same thing without me introducing a piece of generalized Java code into the call path. I'd also like to avoid storing the RHS off into a temporary local variable, but I'll do that before I'll break inlining for the call itself by putting a piece of Java code in the call path.
