Lookup objects and setAccessible

[Kasper Nielsen]

Sorry, I could have been a bit more specific. I meant something like
Method.setAccessible(Lookup, true)

I want to base an API on lookup objects. But I want to still support some use
cases where people rely on java.lang.reflect.Field|Constructor|Method.
Specifically, being able to create an Executable that can be
instantiated/invoked. So I'm looking for a way to make members
(Field|Constructor|Method) accessible in some way using a Lookup object.

Obviously, this would not be a problem if my API relied on open
packages/modules via module-info.java and member.setAccessible(true)
instead of using Lookup objects.
