Use of '#' to represent MethodHandle kind is confusing

javap outputs MethodHandle constants as follows:

#24 = MethodHandle #9:#33 // invokeinterface InterfaceMethodref$I.m:()V

As is typical, "#33" is a cross-reference to constant pool entry 33, which in this case is an InterfaceMethodref.

But "#9" has nothing to do with constant pool entry 9, or any other indexed list: it's simply an enum-style value, representing the reference_kind "invokeinterface" (see JVMS 5.4.3.5).

It might be cleaner to drop the '#', or use some other (non-numeric?) representation.
