We used to have --add-requires, the reason it was replaced by
--add-reads is because "requires" is pre-resolution and so involves
augmenting the module descriptor.

I see. Well IMO, --add-reads should certainly not imply --add-modules in
runtime. But in compile time it would probably be convenient. In that
respect, --add-reads is similar to "requires static" a.k.a.
provided-scope dependency in Maven. javac produces error if "requires
static" dependency is not found, doesn't it?
