Can you explain this further? We can't have a "/' in the module name at the
language or API level. We could at the class level but there is likely a lot of
work required in jimage, jlink and elsewhere if we ever allowed "/" in a module
name. So right now, it would be a IAE if a call if invoking this with a "/" in
the module name.
