Is that the same as `-R--enable-preview` or `-J--enable-preview`? The help output isn't clear. It list the following options, which at first glance look like they would apply to the target process, but than that's also what `-R` is for:

    --class-path <path>   Specify where to find user class files
    --module-path <path>  Specify where to find application modules
    --add-modules <module>(,<module>)*
                          Specify modules to resolve, or all modules on the
                            module path if <module> is ALL-MODULE-PATHs
    --enable-native-access
                          Allow code to run restricted native methods
    --enable-preview      Allow code to depend on preview features of this release
