Additional context and related issues
This PR is a draft as I'd like the opinion of developers:

dummy value be removed and be inferred? I couldn't get it to work without the dummy value; only.argumentType(functionType(UNKNOWN.getTypeSignature(), new TypeSignature("V")))
seemed to match the signature, but I couldn't getUNKNOWN
to be updated to the actual value type.rawIndex
correct? Would it still work for larger data structures?Release notes
