I sense it should be so complex and delay since the additional code changes can 
be copied from the prior changes which recently went through significant review.

If it helps, and since i am proposing additional work, i can merge in such 
changes into your patch.

The increment in and of itself requires only minimal changes to the internal 
ASM, it does not require the integration of a new version of ASM.  Constant 
dynamic only requires a minimal update to the internal ASM to skip over the new 
constant pool entry, since we don’t currently use ASM process or generate 
constant dynamic entries.
