bug : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8230672 webrev : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prr/8230672/
Loosen up the spec. a lot to reflect reality. I considered deprecating the method but there isn't any easy replacement, so it would just be annoying to old code.This will clearly need a CSR which I will draft once we agree on the text here.
