I am not sure this is the best way to do it but it would perhaps be possible to annotate the `package-info.java` file. For example in `java.lang.invoke.package-info.java`:

The VM don't read/parse the package-info class. It's really only used from APIs to read the annotations. In any case, teh long term goal needs to be to remove all special handling.
