It should work the same way at both compile time and run time. One 
difference that we get ironed out is error cases where javac does not 
complain. I think it's on Jon's list to create a test to shake out 
issues like this.

As regards --add-reads implying --add-modules then I agree (as 
--add-modules is for adding roots and so is pre-resolution).
