I'm preparing the first round of java.util.Objects with the 
single-argument static toString method return "null" for null for final 
review.  I'll send out a few follow-up emails, including one for 
additional toStrings methods.  I'm sympathetic to the two-argument 
toString method with a default.

Project Jigsaw is about modularity so I don't see what connection there 
is between Jigsaw and j.u.Objects.
