Thanks for the suggestion.  Updated version: *

The name of the built-in system class loader is {@code "app"}.

* The system property "{@code java.class.path}" is read during early * initialization of the VM to determine the class path. * An empty value of "{@code java.class.path}" property is interpreted * differently depending on whether the initial module (the module * containing the main class) is named or unnamed: * If named, the built-in system class loader will have no class path and * will search for classes and resources using the application module path; * otherwise, if unnamed, it will set the class path to the current * working directory. This looks good.
