Yes, there is some magic. No, I don't know where it's done. It seems it must be
done by the launcher somewhere, but I can't find it. But the hotspot
arguments.cpp does expect it:
} else if (match_option(option, "--add-modules=", &tail)) {
if (!create_numbered_module_property("jdk.module.addmods", tail,
addmods_count++)) {
return JNI_ENOMEM;
}
I don't see any checks for `--add-modules` without the `=`.
