Generation of synthesized parameters

[Alex Buckley]

Yes. The Java language and the core reflection API jointly and 
explicitly agree on the concept of an "implicitly declared" construct. 
(It's not even tacit agreement - the terms used are obviously the same.)

Meanwhile, the ClassFile structure offers ACC_MANDATED as a way for some 
other spec (namely, the joint JLS and Java SE API spec) to flag that 
they own the construct. (The JVMS acknowledges that their ownership is 
currently something to do with "implicitly declared in source code", but 
that reason could broaden in future.)
