It seems to me that the syntax requirements presently established for
Jigsaw in particular are really specific to the module layer(s) handled
by the JDK. It is easy to imagine containers and other such systems
that are provided in their own layers might have different, pre-existing
syntax requirement (we have such a situation with our existing module
environment, allowing (in some layers) names with hypens, slashes,
etc.). Shouldn't syntax checking of names be a policy decision of the
module layer, rather than a global policy?
