I'm sorry to hear this. It's done all the time in tests, by third-party libraries. I figured it'd be better if such a common procedure was more convenient As a side note, encouraging the use of switch by adding more features to it (`when`, etc.) is more questionable than accessing private fields, in my view Anyway, thanks for your feedback ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17578#issuecomment-1996676960
