67 * Unless otherwise noted, passing a {@code null} argument to a

100 * Returns a new Cleaner.
s/Cleaner/{@code Cleaner}
For the create() factory method: should it prepare for future optimization
(e.g. returning a shared Cleaner object, or multiple Cleaner object sharing
among one or more dedicated threads)? Would it be better not to require a new
thread be created and also “Return a Cleaner” instead of “a new Cleaner”.
105 * of the thread is set to the system class loader.
- can you add a link to ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader
106 * The thread has no permissions, enforced only if a

SecurityManager is set}.
I realized I didn’t bring this up in my previous comment. I meant to say that
it may be fine not to mention about “inherited ACC” and permissions. I
included that sentence just in case there is a reason it needs. I am not aware
of any specification talking about the inherited ACC of a newly created thread.
This sentence can be removed. Maybe you can add a @apiNote to explain it.

Regarding the exceptions if threadFactory.newThread returns a started thread,
@throws IllegalThreadStateException is a good one and I think that’s all. A
new thread implies “not started” - perhaps adding a link to Thread.State.NEW.
I did look at whether the security exception will be thrown and I don’t see
any. You should double check.
Cleanable is missing @since 9
164 * Cleanable is a registered cleaning function.
I read “thunk” passed to Cleaner::register is the “registered cleaning
function”. What about:
{@code Cleanable} represents the object and its associated cleaning function
registered in a {@code Cleaner}
