These four were problematic "in the wild". I didn't see any other
options that are problematic, but does not mean there is none other.

Immediate need: possibly, but this requires stringly guesswork.

Moving forward, I can foresee different VMs being requested which can
not be guessed that easily. Think -XXaltjvm= or some other black magic
in launcher. Because of that, I think more generic solution (like the
variant being proposed) is more viable.
