I've conferred with Alex on this request. Since the JSR 294 expert
group is working on adding a "module" accessibility level to the
language, that group is in a good position to weigh the pros and cons of
adding an explicit "package" modifier at the same time, a change they
are considering. Therefore, Project Coin should defer the decision on
an explicit package modifier to the JSR 294 expert group.
