JDK-6948673 - Update SourceVersion.isIdentifier to account for JSR 292 exotic identifiers
Description
The enum javax.lang.model.SourceVersion has a static variable pointing to a set of String keywords.  It would be preferable if the set was initilized using the initialize-on-demand holder class pattern.
Comments
EVALUATION Closing this bug as will-not-fix in the absence of good metrics for time/space trade-offs along different dimensions (static size of class files, number of classes, expected dynamic size of loaded SourceVersion class, etc.). Will re-open the issue if the trade-offs for the pattern are favorable to hold the 43 or so string constants used by the isKeyword method.

EVALUATION A fine idea.
