    Description

      Convert SystemDictionary::WKID to enum class to provide better type safety. Also implement proper enumerators for this type of enums to avoid code like this (which might get out of bounds if you're not careful):

      void SystemDictionary::well_known_klasses_do(MetaspaceClosure* it) {
        for (int id = FIRST_WKID; id < WKID_LIMIT; id++) {
          it->push(well_known_klass_addr((WKID)id));
        }
      }
