There must already be tests for this new feature else you would be pushing untested code, so you would break these tests while your changes sync up.

Tests do exist, but they are presently disabled. The end-to-end tests were part of JDK-8004729, which was pushed before the M6 deadline for tl. However, they fail on SPARC without JDK-8006005, which was pushed to hsx, but didn't make it over to tl in time for M6. Additionally, Peter Jensen is working with me to develop a more comprehensive test suite. And lastly, the spec for MethodParameters is not yet finalized. Therefore, the end-to-end tests are presently disabled.

There are tests in javac as well, but they are being updated as part of the langtools patch.
