Should this option really be hidden? It's currently necessary to
disable de-duplication when debugging to preserve all LNT/LVT.
Of course, this could be a '-X...' instead of '-g' but documented, I think.
Note that de-duplication doesn't really alter javac behavior; let say
'in reverse' that lambda *duplication* would be an additional debug
information...
