      Currently ClassLoaderData::Claim values are simple enums, which is prone to value coercion issues like shown in JDK-8297349.

      Some quick investigation showed the following problems when doing that:
      * the code uses the enum value as bitfield, or'ing values together. This could be fixed by operator overloading
      * this adds a circular dependency due to additional includes needed (in memory/iterator.hpp); an option is to factor out the claim values into a separate header.
