Thank you for the feedback! I didn't see the "proper" usage of effectively final variables.

I modified the "end-to-end" test in [`15d7448` (#14408)](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14408/commits/15d7448b3132e6f0838ac6cb8eb2b939c6eb00f2).

Note that the numbers cannot be arbitrarily increased. Otherwise, one gets errors similar to following

    Fehler: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Code length 102397 is outside the allowed range in sub1(ModuleDescriptor[],ArrayList)void
