Another way to simplify this would be to add a new overload of
Class.forName():
public static Class<?> forName(String name, boolean initialize)
That way the loader argument could be dropped completely from a number
of the use-cases.
Paul and Remi also suggest that during the jigsaw code review on the
jigsaw-dev mailing list. It's worth considering. I plan to look at the
usage of Class.forName in the JDK and add this new overload of
Class.forName method if there are many use of it but I haven't got to it
yet. I prefer to push this changeset as it and file a new CR and target
it for JDK 8.
My other query with these changes is whether we are certain that using
the specified loader rather than the boot loader will always be correct.
