This is a good observation. I took another look. The only place to set those fields are in `Reflection:new_field/new_method/new_constructor`. Making the fields that set by the Method/Field/Constructor constructor be final is a good idea! Those final fields don't need to be `@Stable`. One thing I'm puzzling is why the performance result is better but `java.lang.reflect` is not in the TNSFF package list. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5694
