import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup;

/**
 * An interface providing full static information about a particular
 * call to a
 * <a href="package-summary.html#bsm">bootstrap method</a> of an
 * dynamic call site or dynamic constant.
 * This information includes the method itself, the associated
 * name and type, and any associated static arguments.
 * <p>
 * If a bootstrap method declares exactly two arguments, and is
 * not of variable arity, then it is fed only two arguments by
 * the JVM, the {@linkplain Lookup lookup object} and an instance
 * of {@code BootstrapCallInfo} which supplies the rest of the
 * information about the call.
 * <p>
 * The API for accessing the static arguments allows the bootstrap
 * method to reorder the resolution (in the constant pool) of the
 * static arguments, and to catch errors resulting from the resolution.
 * This mode of evaluation <em>pulls</em> bootstrap parameters from
 * the JVM under control of the bootstrap method, as opposed to
 * the JVM <em>pushing</em> parameters to a bootstrap method
 * by resolving them all before the bootstrap method is called.
 * @apiNote
 * <p>
 * The {@linkplain Lookup lookup object} is <em>not</em> included in this
 * bundle of information, so as not to obscure the access control
 * logic of the program.
 * In cases where there are many thousands of parameters, it may
 * be preferable to pull their resolved values, either singly or in
 * batches, rather than wait until all of them have been resolved
 * before a constant or call site can be used.
 * <p>
 * A push mode bootstrap method can be adapted to a pull mode
 * bootstrap method, and vice versa.  For example, this generic
 * adapter pops a push-mode bootstrap method from the beginning
 * of the static argument list, eagerly resolves all the remaining
 * static arguments, and invokes the popped method in push mode.
 * The callee has no way of telling that it was not called directly
 * from the JVM.
 * <blockquote><pre>{@code
static Object genericBSM(Lookup lookup, BootstrapCallInfo<Object> bsci)
    throws Throwable {
  ArrayList<Object> args = new ArrayList<>();
  args.add(lookup);
  args.add(bsci.invocationName());
  args.add(bsci.invocationType());
  MethodHandle bsm = (MethodHandle) bsci.get(0);
  List<Object> restOfArgs = bsci.asList().subList(1, bsci.size();
  // the next line eagerly resolves all remaining static arguments:
  args.addAll(restOfArgs);
  return bsm.invokeWithArguments(args);
}
 * }</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * In the other direction, here is a combinator which pops
 * a pull-mode bootstrap method from the beginning of a list of
 * static argument values (already resolved), reformats all of
 * the arguments into a pair of a lookup and a {@code BootstrapCallInfo},
 * and invokes the popped method.  Again the callee has no way of
 * telling it was not called directly by the JVM, except that
 * all of the constant values will appear as resolved.
 * Put another way, if any constant fails to resolve, the
 * callee will not be able to catch the resulting error,
 * since the error will be thrown by the JVM before the
 * bootstrap method is entered.
 * <blockquote><pre>{@code
static Object genericBSM(Lookup lookup, String name, Object type,
                         MethodHandle bsm, Object... args)
