Hello Maurizio, in the current mainline, we have code in `LauncherHelper` 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/launcher/LauncherHelper.java#L636
 where we enable native access to all unnamed modules if an executable jar with 
`Enable-Native-Access: ALL-UNNAMED` manifest is being launched. For such 
executable jars, what is the expected semantics when the launch also explicitly 
has a `--enable-native-access=M1,M2` option. Something like:


java --enable-native-access=M1,M2 -jar foo.jar

where `foo.jar` has `Enable-Native-Access: ALL-UNNAMED` in its manifest.
