> Hi @viktorklang-ora ,  I agree with your comment regarding the potential impact, and the assumption of the implementation, however, you got it the wrong way round! ;-) The change I am proposing restores previous behaviour to pre-JDK 22.  It is JDK 22 that has changed this. This is exactly why I am proposing the change
