I have updated this text to:
Enumeration elements marked * will never be generated from Java source
code as of Java SE 8. However, they may appear in the class file.

This is a simple oversight (the text was written before invokedynamic
existed), and I have corrected it.
Expert Group, let me know if you have any concerns.
Eric, thanks for noticing these issues and making the suggestions!
