> There is a new preview language feature, `requires transitive java.base;`. And the `java.se` module is permitted to use the feature, without being marked as preview (i.e. the `java.se` module participates in preview). This is currently implemented by the common "participates in preview" way, by checking that `java.base` is exporting `jdk.internal.javac` package to `java.se`.

> So this PR proposes to change the way javac handles the `java.se` module: it permits the use of the preview feature based on the module name, instead relying on the internal qualified export.
