[Vijay Lakshminarayanan]

Hi Gavin

and from 8.10.2

> CompactConstructorDeclaration: {Annotation} {ConstructorModifier} [TypeParameters] SimpleTypeName [Throws] ConstructorBody

Wouldn't the following be legal?

record NonNullName(@NotNull @NotModified StringBuilder name) {
    @JsonCreator @XmlCreator @BsonCreator public NonNegativePoint { ... }
}

Thanks
Vijay
