Ok, that's two of us. If Andrew is also happy then I will push modulo . . .

Yes, thanks for catching that. Will do so.

That's an interesting idea. However, it is probably best considered wrt
the JDK8 (or maybe even JDK9) code. Also, it's really a separate issue
to this fix which we need now to get the build to work.

If your idea really gives an edge we would probably want it to be used
in all the trees in which case we should maybe start by adding it to 8
(or 9) and then backporting to 7. I'll leave Andrew to consider whether
this is worth pursuing.
