I already explained that ACC_SYNTHETIC and ACC_MANDATED mean different
things. A dependence on java.base is never ACC_SYNTHETIC because it is
either explicitly declared (no ACC_SYNTHETIC, no ACC_MANDATED) or
implicitly declared (no ACC_SYNTHETIC, yes ACC_MANDATED) -- there are no
other possibilities.

Although "java.base" is mandated to be included, it is also inserted
automatically by the compiler. Isn't anything automatically inserted by the
compiler considered synthetic? When I examine the class file, I get
ACC_MANDATED but not ACC_SYNTHETIC for this export. I believe both should
be there.
Furthermore, the user is allowed to explicitly ask for "java.base" to be a
requirement. When this happens, I think ACC_SYNTHETIC should not be
included.
