 #740: Reduce conversion cache from Executable to KFunction.
  This will reduce memory usage efficiency and total memory consumption, but may result in a minor performance degradation in use cases where a large number of factory functions are used as JsonCreator.
 #738: JacksonInject is now preferred over the default argument(fixes #722).
