@JimLaskey, I read JEP 463 but couldn't find any statements on access level of an implicit class. `javap` shows that such a class has package access (as I assume it should).

Here's the most relevant find in JEP, but it's not about the class. It's about class' members:

> An implicit class is almost exactly like an explicitly declared class. Its members can have the same modifiers (e.g., private and static) and the modifiers have the same defaults (e.g., package access and instance membership). One key difference is that while an implicit class has a default zero-parameter constructor, it can have no other constructor.
