This optimizes the common case of respond_to? with a literal symbol. When the method is "naturally" respond_to? => true then that result can be cached behind the usual guards. This makes the success path essentially free.
The logic here has a lot of copied behavior from elsewhere and utilizes some now-static methods from InvokeSite, so it could be refactored along with the rest of indy logic to be much simpler.
