OK, sorry, I shouldn't have used the word "elegant" without really looking at the implementation. What I rather wanted to point out was the fact that Oracle's change was touching less LOC.

I think, after all, we should have the same code in all OpenJDK versions. That's why I would still suggest to do this backport and additionally improve the implementation in OpenJDK head and then backport this enhancement. WDYT?

@AntonKozlov, would you mind proposing your changes in jdk/jdk?
