Problem: There is need to indicate Java methods that are potentially

It's a great idea but is it a good name? HotSpot is not the only Java
VM. Do we expect people from to come along and add
J9IntrinsicCandidate, CACAOIntrinsicCandidate, and so on?
thank you bringing up this issue.
The name HotSpotIntrinsicCandidate resulted from a private discussion
with Joe Darcy, Brian Goetz, and John Rose. The reason this name was
picked is to make clear that a marked method's interaction with the VM
(specifically with the HotSpot VM implementation) needs special attention.
