Wait, forget it.  It's not about spelling out the "java.lang." for
class like String or System, it's about putting custom classes into
that package.

I'm too lazy to check if it's relevant for java.lang, but in principle
it's possible to "seal" a package, and then it's against the java
compiler's "law" to add or replace classes in it. Maybe, the Navy
Seals will come to arrest threspassers.

Anyway, that's not the point of a few posts upthread, where the
point was about a scenario of someone messing with the JVM itself,
to get their own java.lang.String dummy in, e.g. to troll some 3rd-
party closed-source code.  People with that agenda are not likely
to care about laws (might even be a case of DMCA-violation for those
who live where it matters - so much for "What law?").
