RFR(S): 8027829: CompileCommand does not accept all JLS-conformant class/method names

[Vladimir Ivanov]

Nils,

2 typos: Charachter.isJavaIdentiferPart

Are there any plans to extend this further past JLS?
JVMS allows arbitrary UTF8 string to be used as a class/method/field 
name and some JVM languages use that.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov
