Qualified exports/opens and services

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi!

First of all, happy new year, everybody.

I got a question regarding qualified exports/opens and services. I
thought I once read a proposal that a service consumer that some
packages are exported or opened to could "forward" those privileges to
the service providers.

As an example, think about JPA and Hibernate (and ignore the ludicrous
module names):

* app code might `opens com.example.dto to jpa`
* when app calls `EntityManager`, it locates Hibernate in module
  `hibernate` as JPA implementation
* `hibernate` can now reflect over `com.example.dto`

That feature doesn't exist, right?

 so long ... Nicolai
