@liach please have a look at this intensive exchange between David Holmes (@dholmes-ora) and me: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/6213#issuecomment-960420076 That exchange relates to other keywords that might appear in plain (i.e. prose) font.

Speaking of which, I might still owe David a follow-up PR.
