Description Manoj N Palat

Ref : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8186872

With the above Java 10 feature
StackFrame::getMethodType and StackFrame::getDescriptor  returns the method type of this stack frame and the method descriptor string respectively.

Can the debugger put this to good use?
[Keeping this bug as an enhancement which can be taken up post 10 - did not want to miss this feature out]

This will be useful when we will try to implement stack walker.
