This is unfortunate.  There's really no other way to hook into name 
resolution.  What's wrong with putting this stuff in a com.sun or 
org.openjdk module?

Having modules doesn't *really* require that everything non-standard be 
hidden or killed off, just that it be separated from the standard 
modules in a way that makes some kind of sense.
