Description
Because of the removal of language support, the JDK 7 API for JSR 292 no longer includes a public class named java/dyn/InvokeDynamic.

However, the JVM uses java/dyn/InvokeDynamic (arbitrarily) as a marker class for invokedynamic instructions.  This practice needs to change, and the class may then be removed from the JDK.
