in <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334324">https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334324</a> about similar topics and this sentence would change the meaning of the spec and tilt those discussions.<br>

Ah, thanks for the reference to that issue. I thought we could rephrase to help clean up the ambiguity, but it's clear that it's still a live issue to just figure out what behavior we want to disambiguate to (and whether various longstanding HotSpot behaviors
need to change). That's not something I want to keep tying Valhalla to, so I'll spin this off as a separate issue.<br>
<br>
I've filed a bug:<br>
