Yes, but ... this reduces to a previously unsolved problem (which we're
working on.) We have no precedent at this point for mandating options
on StandardJavaFileManager, or even the half-way point of, if you
support this option, here's what the semantics might be. Yeah, we
don't even currently do it for -classpath, -sourcepath etc.
Currently, the thinking is that the code path is primarily for the
command line usage, when we know it will be JavacFileManager. If you're
in the API and using your own custom file manager, you can configure the
file manager directly.

If I recall correctly, the NIO2 API design forced this one. The method
you are referring to does not exist. There is only one that takes a URI,
and that has very different semantics. So we had to go with the method
on the provider, hence the use of getJarFSProvider.

Using ordinals is almost as bad as using strings ;-) In general, the
practice in langtools has been to avoid use of .ordinal where possible.
