Hi Alan,

I was trying to fix Groovy to use trySetAccessible() instead of setAccessible() 
and this did not change any warnings at all: The code can be found here:

https://github.com/apache/groovy/compare/master...uschindler:java9/trySetAccessible

It did not change anything. In fact, the code behaved as it did before - no 
change at all! Warnings are almost the same (actually worse, because of how I 
did it using MethodHandles, see bwlow). It also granted full access, like the 
usual call to setAccessible()!
This is because the java.lang package is open at runtime in JDK 9. Once open then you can use both old and new APIs to do so-called "deep reflection" on members of all classes in the package.
