Since there is already a @CallerSensitive protected static method called "registerAsParallelCapable" for subclasses to call from their blocks, the query could be called:

isRegisteredAsParallelCapable() ? I doubt this name is already taken by any subclass out there… It's always a potential compatibility issue to add a final method to a non-final class but if we can get away with the rename suggested by Peter then it would be good. Our investigation indicates that odds are very good that "isRegisteredAsParallelCapable" will work, and I see the preference leaning toward keeping this a final instance method. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8169435/webrev.1/
