review request (URGENT): 7051206: JSR 292 method name SwitchPoint.isValid is misleading to unwary users; should be hasBeenInvalidated

[Emmanuel Castro]

I noticed that the same kind of strange properties exists from
the beginning in the Java API on the Thread class. When the Thread.isAlive()
returns true, you're not sure that it is still true at the next instruction.
If one follows the same naming scheme, it would yield to Thread.hasDied().
