jackson-databind is very dependent on java reflection but we can start rewriting some pieces of code to avoid it

they can't be static final the way the code is written at the moment but a bigger rewrite might be able to achieve that

it looks like we won't be able to merge this anyway because animal-sniffer (Android compatibility checking) is rejecting the use of MethodHandles

it's a required change unfortunately because invoke throws Throwable. this method shouldnt throw at all though
