I ran jar --help and saw no module options. I've just rechecked and
can see that I only read the section from "Compatibility interface"
onwards. My mistake, although given that section starts with a "Usage"
and has a list of options, I fear it may be a confusion for others
(the top of the help result scrolled off the top of the command
window). Perhaps, those compatibility options should only be shown if
you enter "jar --help:compatibility" or similar?
