Paul and Remi also suggest that during the jigsaw code review on the 
jigsaw-dev mailing list.  It's worth considering.  I plan to look at the 
usage of Class.forName in the JDK and add this new overload of 
Class.forName method if there are many use of it but I haven't got to it 
yet.  I prefer to push this changeset as it and file a new CR and target 
it for JDK 8.
