> The spec of `ClassLoader::getClassLoadingLock` is unclear that this method is intended for parallel-capable class loader implementations to provide an alternate implementation.   For non-parallel-capable class loaders, this method should return this `ClassLoader` object.   The javadoc uses "the default implementation" which could be interpreted that non-parallel-capable class loaders can also override this implementation, which is not the intent.  See https://openjdk.org/groups/core-libs/ClassLoaderProposal.html.
