As a few months have gone by without any follow-ups, I have been wondering
whether there is a
solution at all, if this is a problem rooted in the current implementation of
MethodHandle methods
not being 100% compatible with reflective invoke (which may imply that one
needs to stick to use
reflective invoke and forgo MethodHandle invokes for good).
