Description
"JEP 371 introduces hidden classes in Java 15. Hidden classes have the following implications to existing code:
`Class::getName` traditionally returns a binary name, but for a hidden class it returns a string that contains an ASCII forward slash (/) and is therefore not a binary name. Programs that assume the returned string is a binary name might need to be updated to handle hidden classes. That said, the longstanding practice of Unsafe::defineAnonymousClass was to define classes whose names were not binary names, so some programs may already handle such names successfully."
Do we need to do anything to handle this?
