Thanks for this prompt. Note that CompoundElement implementations already have basic debug printout like
<code>ClassModel[thisClass=xxx, flags=xxx]</code>, so using "debug" to mean this resulting string is more detailed makes sense.</div>

I’ve created a new <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345773">enhancement</a> to add a method to `j.l.classfile.CompoundElement` returning its debug printout.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">It is a chance to get this enhancement in Late-Enhancement Request Process (according to JEP 3) into JDK 24.</p>
