Review Comment:
This is described in
<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/javac.html#searching-for-module-package-and-type-declarations>.
The relevant lines are
> When compiling code for a module, the compiler also needs to have
available the declaration of that module.
> A successful search may produce a class file, a source file, or both. If
both are found, then you can use the
[-Xprefer](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/javac.html#option-Xprefer)
option to instruct the compiler which to use.
> If a search finds and uses a source file, then by default javac compiles
that source file. This behavior can be altered with
[-implicit](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/javac.html#option-implicit).
Feel free to suggest better wording.
