RFR [8034044] Class.getModifiers() returns "static" for anonymous classes

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I would remove the comment in Attr 2132-2138.

In general, javac lives in the present.  There's no need to document an 
erroneous past in the comments. That's what the Mercurial changelog and 
bug system are for ;-)
