Thank you for the clarification, Alan.
Wondering why `isAutomatic()` is part of the API then. Its underlying
value is also not declared by the author of the module, but rather
determined at/by the runtime.
Automatic modules require special treatment so it's very important that
the runtime or other programs using the ModuleDescriptor API know if the
module is an automatic module or not. This isn't the same thing as
knowing how the name was generated as most programs shouldn't care about
that, e.g. modules generated at run-time will be named by whatever
system generates them.
