      Both local variable and function names use the notion of a requested address when it comes to mapping the heap. This address represents the address of a best-case scenario for which we do not need to perform pointer patching. However, the address is never requested per-se, rather it's desired.

      JDK-8371777 removed a misleading function call. The notion of "requested" is deeply rooted in the code, with several other function and variable names using it. This RFE renames these identifiers to something more representative.

      Name suggestions are welcome: perhaps "desired"?
