Looks good to me.

The change addresses concerns about the JEP 274 API that were raised by the JCK
team. One consequence is that the convenience wrappers for the generic loop
combinator are now somewhat restrictive about the handles passed to them as
arguments. They have to be created with the appropriate matching signatures.
This minor inconvenience is easily overcome by utilising available API such as
MethodHandles.constant(), .empty(), or .dropToMatch(). In case the full handle
signature inference power is desired, the generic loop combinator,
MethodHandles.loop(), still provides this.
Most of the changes affect the API documentation, but the behavioural changes
in some of the methods also reflect on the pertaining tests.
Thanks,
Michael
