Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, but I totally agree with Alan. `COMPAT` is 
meant for apps for their migration to JDK18, not something we would want to 
promote as a feature. `Charset.forName("COMPAT")` was an example we would not 
do, leading to my point that we should not add the proposed javac/javadoc 
compiler flag.
