Oftentimes, it would be convenient to have access to the method dispatcher prior to a method being invoked on an object. I imagine that this could be done by a class implementing a special interface, say "MethodDispatcher":

public interface MethodDispatcher {
   public Object invoke(Method method, Object args[]) throws
                   IllegalAccessException,
                   IllegalArgumentException,
                   InvocationTargetException;
}

The JVM, when encountering a class implementing this interface, would invoke a method through MethodDispatcher.invoke instead of directly on the target object.
