The proposal uses java.lang.reflect.Field and java.lang.reflect.Method, I would prefer java.lang.reflect.Property and java.dyn.MethodHandle. (with java.lang.reflect.Property a pair of method handles (getter/setter)).
I agree that MethodHandle[1] may well be a better option. As far as I understand the MH and related work (for the InvokeDynamic JSR), invocation through a MethodHandle should be much faster than via Method and standard reflection.
Personally, I find # a little ugly. I realize this is used within JavaDoc, but I personally don't read a lot of raw JD so am not used to it. I don't have an alternative to suggest but I hope someone else does :).
