The current default flag has none of these bits set, meaning that it will not be suitable in the future. Currently, most class file generation in the JDK explicitly set ACC_SUPER for compatibility; we should also set this bit in the default flags, despite being no-op, in anticipation of future compatibility.

Thanks for the reviews! Meanwhile I will keep working on valhalla and its supports to move it forward.
