      Description

        During the definition & development of Java 8, as a part of the Lambda expressions support Umbrella JSR
        (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7115044) there existed experimental support to allow interface methods being private. However this experimental feature didn't make the final cut.

        As part of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8042880 targeted for Java SE 9, we would like to
        resurrect support for this feature.
