Hello all; Since this code will be introduced without any usages I decided it was critical to make a stand alone unit test. I've updated the webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/JDK-8013528/1/webrev/ The webrev mistakes my hg copy for a rename... Ignore that. Capturing the provenance of the test file probably isn't critical since the file is repurposed for a different test, but I prefer to have the origin tracked rather than use a non-vcs copy. I also made the other changes suggested by reviewers.
