@cl4es I'm talking about the linker being spun in `Invokers::invokeHandleForm`. 
When either `invoke` or `invokeExact` is called, the VM calls 
`MethodHandleNatives::linkMethod` and we eventually end up there. That code 
creates a new `LambdaForm` that has the type check (for `invokeExact`) and 
customization check, and then forwards the arguments to `invokeBasic`.

The idea would be to call `invokeBasic` directly instead of `invokeExact` 
(similar to what we do in `VarHandleGuards`)
