RFR (M): 7198429: need checked categorization of caller-sensitive methods in the JDK

[Peter Levart]

Hi,

If I understand correctly, sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass(int) 
will not be usable by non-system code any more. I know it's not a public 
API, but it's useful in some situations (not security-related) and 
there's no public API for that functionality.

Is there a reason to not "unofficially" support also classes with @CS 
annotated methods and which are not loaded by bootstrap or extension 
class-loader ?

Regards, Peter
