Hi John.

Updates on the prototype:
I have had to put the development of the prototype on hold due to deadlines
in the Jython project associated with PyCon.
The status is that I have implemented injection for invokeinterface. There
is still some testing to be done there and then I'll move on to the other
injection points.

But great to see that method handles are making their way into the official
JDK7.
