Nice changes!

I think using `functionalities` would be better. Also "restricted method 
**calls** works better too (so it's restricted method **calls** and native 
method **declarations.

Same comments as above

I can't parse "path list of class path jar files". What is the argument here? I 
think it has to be a list of jars? If so, one way could be  `a list of paths 
pointing to the jar files to be scanned`

This is also hard to read. Perhaps `a list of paths pointing to the jar files 
to be scanned, or the directories containing said jar files.`

Suggestion:

All the root modules will be scanned, as well as any modules

In principle, the release could also affect which methods are native or not?

Maybe we should point to `Runtime.version()` instead?

Note: sometimes you say root modules, sometimes root module set. I'd suggest to 
pick one and remain consistent.

This is a good explanation, I'm not sure whether it's necessary, as the output 
seems quite self-explanatory. But I'm ok either way.
