I would assume javac -Xmodule and the -Xpatch support shouldn't be 
impacted by this. The proposal just allows a properties file to be 
specified as an alternative to a directory (java -mp 
dir1:mymods.properties:dir2 ..) and so the patching/overriding should 
continue to work. Or maybe you mean that -Xpatch should allow properties 
to be specified in its value too?
