Is there really a jdk.proxy1 module?

[Rafael Winterhalter]

What is the advantage of adding runtime generated classes to a specific
named module? If all generated classes are collected in a single module,
this module does not have a meaningful readability scope. If enough
interfaces are proxied, the proxy module will converge to full read access,
wouldn't it?

Why not add such proxy classes to a class loader's unnamed module?
