Confirmed that searching for "hidden class" finds the "Hidden Classes" section
in JDK 23 API docs.
src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Class.java line 144:

Suggestion:
* (JLS {@jls 15.8.2}).
Also, the preexisting description of "class or interface" as represented by
`java.lang.Class` is incorrect; it also represents primitive types, including
void, and array types. But this problem exists in the first-sentence summary as
well, so I believe we should fix it in another RFE.
