    Wrapper for an argument resulting from a invokePoly(java.lang.Class<T>, java.lang.Class<? extends com.goldencode.p2j.oo.lang._BaseObject_>, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) or invokeStandalonePoly(java.lang.Class<? extends com.goldencode.p2j.oo.lang._BaseObject_>, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) call; in this case, the direct Java call must enforce the type at compile time, and the runtime will check if the returned value is compatible with this type.
    
    Type Parameters:

```
    Perform a dynamic method call, on which the return type and the lookup are enforced via types emitted during conversion.
    For the return type, if is not compatible, FWD will raise a 'Caller compilation ... 12882' ERROR; this is earlier than OE does, but for chained calls, Java will abend if the correct type is not on stack when it tries to invoke the next method, so we need to enforce it early.
    For the method lookup, it will be limited to the target type emitted during conversion, and not the runtime type.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - The expected return type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    retType - The expected return type. The actual runtime returned type must be the same or a sub-class of this type.
    
    targetType - The target type where the method lookup will be performed.
    
    mthdName - The target method name.
