You probably remember the work I did on constant pool entries in javac.
There are two classes called PoolReader/Writer which have been used for
quite a bit of time in JDK 9. If we think we like the new code (and I
think it does clean up Pool, ClassWriter, ClassReader quite a bit), I
think we should forward port this patch to JDK 10
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/valhalla/valhalla9/langtools/rev/009918773810
See also the discussion in javac-dev under subject "constant pool sneak
peek" and "constant pool sneak peek - part two".
