JShell changes —
The code change is fine.
The help change in the properties file is not consistent with the other items, note: --help-extra, -X Print help on…
so this should be: —help, -h, -?
Or, if there is a tool-wide standard, then the —help-extra entry should be changed.
The tests of “—help” should be updated to include the now documented “-h” and “-?”
As Jon noted, the _ja and _zh_CN properties should not be touched.
