VM and Java code has to be updated to use the correct modifier. Verified with tier x-y tests.

Is a Modifier method really appropriate or needed?
Modifier is used to describe modifiers in the source and there is no language keyword for "strict init".
It is already defined in AccessFlag and that should be sufficient for the use cases.
