BTW, you don't need the -L option when the module is in the system 
module library.

IMO, I don't think "java -m com.greetings" is not command-line 
friendly.  "-m" option is a way to tell the launcher to run the 
application in module mode.  With "-m" option, it'll launch the 
application in legacy mode as today.

I think you meant the default module.  This only saves to type the 
module name for one single module in a module library.

It already does as you no longer need the classpath in modules :)
