        Consider the following case:
          class T1 { public void m() {} }
          class T2 { public abstract void m(); }
          class T3 { public void m() {} }

        Call site: T3 { invokevirtual T2.m()V T3 }

        NB: class T2 isn't marked as abstract.

        VM: AbstractMethodError: p1.T2.m()V
        JVMS: T3.m() should be invoked

        The following check during method resolution is removed in JVMS-8 [1]:
        JVMS-5.4.3.3. Method Resolution
        "If method lookup succeeds and the method is abstract, but C is not abstract, method resolution throws an AbstractMethodError."

        ILW = HLM = P3

        I = H = JVMS-8 violation; severely affects testing of default methods
        L = L = javac doesn't generate such bytecode
        W = M = add ACC_ABSTRACT to class' attributes
