        I just wanted to ask, why Class#getSimpleName() is used in MethodType#toString(). People knowing this method from Class will also know that getSimpleName makes assumption about the inner class names, that are based on the JLS, which allows only a fraction of the names the JVM allows. Resulting in things like this:

        > java.lang.InternalError: Malformed class name
        > at java.lang.Class.getSimpleName(Class.java:1317)
        > at java.lang.invoke.MethodType.toString(MethodType.java:724)
        > at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2979)
        > at java.lang.StringBuilder.append(StringBuilder.java:131)
        > at org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Selector$MethodSelector.<init>(Selector.java:477)

        bye Jochen
