My point is really that if JDK 9 changes what #getSimpleName returns for our closures, that's a breaking change that is not under our control. Changing the behavior of Groovy, whatever it is, means that older classes will not be compatible with JDK 9, at least for the code in the wild which relies on <generated closure>#getSimpleName.
