After thinking about this for a bit, I think we should allow multiple module names. Consider for instance an executable jar which depends on a library, inside another modular jar file. The library jar is put on the module path, the executable jar passed to `-jar`. I think there should be a way in this case in the jar manifest to enable native access for the library if it needs it. If we just allow `EnableNativeAccess: ALL-UNNAMED` than that doesn't seem possible?
