There being no other comments supporting this enhancement, I propose to close this PR **without** integrating. I'll take care of closing the bug as will-not-fix. It can be reopened if new information becomes available. For any API addition, its useful to do an email query on core-libs-...@openjdk.net to see if there is support for API enhancements. Thank you. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1460
