I think `asInvoker` and `asExactInvoker` make sense if you think of a VarHandle as an invoker of MethodHandles (though this is more of an implementation detail). But, I feel like the name `asInvoker` isn't obvious enough for what it does. i.e. it's not that obvious from the name that this removes the exactness. If `asGeneric` is problematic, maybe just `asNonExact` works? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/843
