Please see

changes that align with the JEP.
Text blocks compile to the same class file construct as string literals,
namely CONSTANT_String_info entries in the constant pool. Helpfully, the
JVMS is already agnostic about the origin of a CONSTANT_String_info,
making no reference to "string literals". Therefore, there are no JVMS
changes for text blocks, save for a tiny clarification w.r.t. annotation
elements.
