I think this was brought to the fore by https://openjdk.org/jeps/477 where running the example implicit main:

void main() {
    println("Hello, World!");
}

 .. brings in this code. This PR is one of several to try and smoothen a few rough edges that makes the startup of that quite a bit heavier than the baseline non-implicit Hello World.
