Create component for method call / field access substitution

[raphw]

Create a visitor that allows the substitution of field access / method calls by invoking another method or by delegating to a bootstrap method (replacing the access with an invokedynamic call site).

This should allow for an API similar to this one:

Method bootstrap = ...
AsmVisitorWrapper wrapper = Substitute.with(bootstrap).on(named("foo"));

Has there been any progress on this feature? This is the main thing stopping us from upgrading from JavaAssist.

There is some progress in the MemberSubstitution component. I want to extend its capabilities but for now it is perfectly capable to replace a field or method access with another field or method access.

This is MemberSubstitution, in case anybody is wondering.
