That's right.   With Karen's change, the VM is able to accept non-null 
loader for the base module.  In the current jigsaw/jdk prototype, it can 
only take null loader if it requests a class in the base module.

My next step is to experiment with Class.getClassLoader() returning 
non-null and evaluate its implication.
