Hmm, I guess I was thinking of "Java 8 is not backwards compatible with 
Java 7 JVM," although there may be subtleties to that term that I'm not 
understanding.

My main goal was to point out to folks here who may try that snapshot 
that "it's not all there yet" so they didn't spend too much time 
spinning their wheels if they found something that didn't run.  Likely, 
it's the JDK that probably isn't 100% yet, not the coder.
