The module system isn't in JDK 9 yet so there isn't any documentation to 
point at just yet. We hope to start doing early access builds very soon 
with a proposed design/implementation that will allow for discussion. 
The get out of jail free card is currently named -XaddExport and I 
assume this is what Mark had in the slide.
