JDK 8 folk,
javac currently accepts -target 8, but for convenience has still been
generating v51 class files.
With new features "coming soon", like lambda and type-annotations, we
need to update javac to generate v52 class files.
Is there any reason why we should /not proceed to do so -- i..e what
might fall over if we and when we change javac to use v52 class files,
and hence have JDK 8 builds contain v52 class files?
