  82  * The query methods {@code parameterArray} and {@code parameterList}
  83  * also provide a choice between arrays and lists.
  84  * <p>
  85  * {@code MethodType} objects are sometimes derived from bytecode instructions
  86  * such as {@code invokedynamic}, specifically from the type descriptor strings associated
  87  * with the instructions in a class file's constant pool.
  88  * <p>
  89  * Like classes and strings, method types can also be represented directly
  90  * in a class file's constant pool as constants.
  91  * A method type may be loaded by an {@code ldc} instruction which refers
  92  * to a suitable {@code CONSTANT_MethodType} constant pool entry.
  93  * The entry refers to a {@code CONSTANT_Utf8} spelling for the descriptor string.
  94  * (For full details on method type constants, see sections {@jvms
  95  * 4.4.8} and {@jvms 5.4.3.5} of the Java Virtual Machine
  96  * Specification.)
  97  * <p>
  98  * When the JVM materializes a {@code MethodType} from a descriptor string,
  99  * all classes named in the descriptor must be accessible, and will be loaded.
 100  * (But the classes need not be initialized, as is the case with a {@code CONSTANT_Class}.)
 101  * This loading may occur at any time before the {@code MethodType} object is first derived.
