PS, I would accept a design where developers could choose to use
exports or restricts (but not both) in module-info.java.
What about adding support for automatic modules to javac ?
Currently if there is a directory in the -modulesourcepath that contains
sources but no module-info.java file, it is not treated as a module. If
it was treated as an automatic module (meaning that it would export all
packages and require all other modules), the development process could
be more easily bootstrapped. At some point in time when clear API of the
module is formed, the developer would just add the module-info.java to
it to describe the module in full...
