Sorry - found it.  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mr/jigsaw/spec/lang-vm.html

Pity module-info doesn't extend Object (i.e. have non-zero super_class
index) as does package-info.class.  It will (needlessly?) create extra
special case processing for utilities which read class files.  Not sure
what it gains other than reducing module-info.class size slightly.
