I see the role of AccessFlags is to model what is in the class file. ACC_SUPER has been documented and in multiple versions of the JVMS and has appeared set in class files. If the bit position is reused, that is fine and the API can accommodate that overlap, unlike a bit-flag based model. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7445
