Thanks for taking a closer look here and enlightening me.

@SuppressWarnings("overloads") is supported by javac but not by my Eclipse IDE. One can list supported @SuppressWarnings types with javac -X. You'll get:
overloads            Warn about issues regarding method overloads.

So I now understand what the warning means and why @SuppressWarnings("overloads") is required here. I've also configured my Eclipse to ignore this unknown annotation.

New webrev, keeping @SuppressWarnings("overloads"): http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8230854.1/
