 Summary: Evolve the Java programming language so that beginners can
 write their first programs without needing to understand language
 features designed for large programs. Far from using a separate
 dialect of the language, beginners can write streamlined declarations
 for single-class programs and then seamlessly expand their programs to
 use more advanced features as their skills grow. Experienced developers
 can likewise enjoy writing small programs succinctly, without the need
 for constructs intended for programming in the large. This is a preview
 language feature.
