Research direction

Start with the linked xtext-gradle-plugin issue and trace how Java Source Lang handles package names, including the InMemoryCompilers mentioned here. Reproduce a package beginning with _ and check whether other package characters show the same behavior. Done means the affected package names are handled consistently and the regression is covered by the relevant tests.
