Oh that's excellent, thanks!

One or two nits:

I trust you did not edit the part of the file marked

// BEGIN This section of the file is automatically generated. Do not edit --------------

If you did, please remove your edits and regenerate that part of the
file.  It's an m4 program, just run it though m4 and insert it.

Also: all changes should go into JDK9.

Thanks again,
Andrew.
