PS: I should like to mention one aspect of this spec that we intend to change 
in JDK 16 (it was too late in the day for JDK 15). We currently specify in 3.9 
that `non-sealed` is a keyword. We couldn’t simply play the trick that it was a 
restricted identifier, as identifiers cannot contain the `-` character. 
However, this is not where we intend to land. We would prefer to introduce a 
notion of “contextual keyword” and use this to properly deal with not just 
‘non-sealed`, but also `var`, `yield`, and `sealed` (the restricted 
identifiers), as well as the ten restricted keywords (`open`, `module`, 
`requires`, `transitive`, `exports`, `opens`, `to`, `uses`, `provides`, and 
`with`).

We will share details of this once they are ready, but I wanted to share our 
intent here now.
