yes, it is. I may look at it again, but I wished a single patch to cover 
all scenarios.

Daniel made a good point in the ccc discussion for JDK-8152912, that is, 
maybe we'd update the procedure in favor of more modern alternatives 
(passing a Layer, or ordering/prioritizing the service providers). I was 
therefore envisioning a single spec change /CCC to cover all scenarios. 
It may be easier with the CCC process. I currently have a couple smaller 
CCCs pending that end up blocking the plan for a further change.  Also 
we could then use or update Frank's test to cover these changes than 
have three separate unit tests.

I can start a separate thread to discuss the lookup procedure.
