The jigsaw team would need to sign off on any changes
to the module graph and in addition I think the VM team
might have some input on this since I don't think this
is intended to be used other than extremely sparingly.
I see @Stable used only by String and java.lang.invoke
which has deep ties to the VM.
In other words I am not sure we should do this or if, for ForceIine,
it would bring any benefits over what hotspot is doing without prompting.

Hi,
In the marlin renderer, I am wondering if I could use the compiler
annotations @ForceInline / @Stable (in java.base module).
It would provide hints to the hotspot compiler and maybe bring some
performance benefits.
Of course, it means adding a qualified export in the modules.xml:
<export>
<name>jdk.internal.vm.annotation</name>
<to>java.desktop</to>
</export>
Please give me your opinion & comments.
