I've updated the API section of the Public Review Specification [1] to
make two agreed changes:

  - The names of automatic modules, as specified in the `ModuleFinder` [2]
    interface, can include trailing digits, per the accepted proposal [3].

  - The `Module`, `Layer`, and `LayerInstantiationException` classes are
    moved from the `java.lang.reflect` package up into the `java.lang`
    package [4] and the names of the latter two are prefixed with
    `Module`, per the accepted proposal [5].

The JCP PMO will post this update shortly.
