Description
Using bootstrapped switches from the bytecode generating parts of the classfile API restricts switch bootstrapping itself (which need to make sure not to use parts of the classfile APIs which will go through a bootstrapped switch). And even if care is taken there's a small risk of bootstrap circularity issues in untested configurations. Desugaring also slightly helps startup.
