Description
The javax.lang.model API has the concept of an empty name as well as javax.lang.model.Name as an CharSequence specialization. With JDK-8215401 in JDK 15, CharSequence now has an isEmpty method.

Adding an explicit id for the "empty name" concept and then addling links to the id from elsewhere in the docs, will refine the docs slightly.

JDK 15 needs to be the book JDK so that the CharSequence.isEmpty method is present to be overridden.
