Description
Per the serialization specification, the readResolve method is supposed to be declared as follows:

ANY-ACCESS-MODIFIER Object readResolve()
            throws ObjectStreamException;
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/specs/serialization/input.html#the-readresolve-method

The SerializedLambda class instead declares readResolve to throw ReflectiveOperationException.
