Was it intentional for "requires static" to work that way? Am I missing
something? From my perspective, "requires static" means that the referenced

when compiling other modules depending on the declaring module.
I suspect what you are seeing isn't specific to `requires static` but
rather a long standing issues where javac has needed the transitive
closure to be observable when compiling any module. There are changes in
jdk9/dev for jdk-9+156 (next week's build) that mostly fix this issue
and it will be interesting to see if that addresses your concerns.
