   So that I don't forget it at a later time: I veto this change on the grounds, that it makes the project impossible to compile with javac (at time of writing there is usage of `if($var instanceof $type $newlyBoundVariable){}`, added ).
   My understanding of the project is to write an IDE/Platform based on the Java language, with its reference implementation OpenJDK. I refuse to accept, that we rely on javac fork, that could vanish anytime, instead on the reference compiler as distributed by the JDK.
