Somewhere we should state that "nests form a partition over classes".
(That is, each class belongs to exactly one nest.)
"same package" -> "same package, module, class loader, and protection
domain"?

At the August 3 meeting, we discussed revising the treatment of private method
invocations, asking compilers to use 'invokevirtual' and 'invokeinterface'
rather than 'invokespecial'. This allows us to leave 'invokespecial' untouched,
rather than adding to its already-significant complexity.
See here for a proposed specification:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dlsmith/private-access.html
The 'invokevirtual' calls were already supported, but in order to invoke
private interface methods, we needed to enhance 'invokeinterface'. I thought
the best way to accomplish this is to unify the selection process for
'invokevirtual' and 'invokeinterface' into a single algorithm. This also
addresses some outstanding bugs and enhancement requests, as noted.
