There is an item in the requirements document on this [1] but nothing in 
the jake forest specifically for this. Link-time is potentially a great 
phase to do indexing of modules that will be linked into the run-time 
image and I'm sure that lots could be explored there.

Just on existing tools that are scanning the class path, have you run 
into issues there that suggest they won't work as before?
