>My suggestion would be to add two new classes with the fixed code
(different class names), and deprecated the old classes. That way there is no
need to have commons-lang v4.
Thought a bit about that after seeing the vote for [lang] 3.7. In any way,
the current implementation will be removed only in 4.x, and we will have to
include the require static for Java 9 module.
So right now I am thinking about not marking the class or fields as
deprecated, nor adding another class with a different name. Just keep this PR
and the ticket open. Then mark the ticket as FixVersion 4.0, use the require
static trick for the module-info.java for Java 9.
Does that sound like a good plan?
