Thanks. I have changed the comment to:

// For caller-sensitive MethodHandles.lookup() disallow lookup from
// restricted packages.  This a fragile and blunt approach.
// TODO replace with a more formal and less fragile mechanism
// that does not bluntly restrict packages within java.base from
// looking up MethodHandles or VarHandles.
