When obtaining an instantiated generic method reference, a method (M1) is obtained from a
MethodSpecificationHandleand then instantiated using theinstantiate()method present in the model. The issue is that the M1 might have not been extracted/processed yet, so when that happens a method that is not complete is used instead (i.e with some null fields). Theinstantiate()method uses M1 fields, which some of them are null, and set them to the new Instantiated method. Since this are fields, when M1 is actually processed and updated this does not translate to the instantiated method.A proxy is used instead to link the instantiation to M1 so when this last one is processed, the instantiation is updated as well.
This depends on #44.
