I find this risky. Right now MemberName is only used in a couple places in java.lang.invoke but in the future it might be used for other things (e.g. java.lang.reflect). The information MemberName contains should be correct and usable without changing. Otherwise all users have to patch the information the same way as you do in your patch. I would like to see the VM passing correct information (whatever the definition of correct is here). > > The fix is targeted for 8.
