Description
The VM's creation of Method and Constructor already has superclass handling for AccessibleObject. When Executable was introduced in release 8, the VM side was not changed for ease of work. The move of these common fields to Executable may make the code in Method and Constructor much cleaner. In this process, we can probably drop the unused `slot` field as well.
Comments
Stopping work for now; plan to return after pattern deconstructors are integrated.
