Truffle: add the ability to "tag" Sources with any number of standard or private tags, for example so that Sources might be marked as "FROM_FILE", "LIBRARY", "BUILTIN", or any other distinction that matters to some tools. Those tags can be applied by the language runtime when sources are created, for example when loading builtins. Alternately, you can listen for newly created sources from outside the implementation, where you might tag sources based on pattern matching against file paths or any other meta-information in the Source.

OPENJDK ASSEMBLY EXCEPTION

The OpenJDK source code made available by Oracle at openjdk.java.net and
openjdk.dev.java.net ("OpenJDK Code") is distributed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> version 2
only ("GPL2"), with the following clarification and special exception.

    Linking this OpenJDK Code statically or dynamically with other code
    is making a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms
    and conditions of GPL2 cover the whole combination.

    As a special exception, Oracle gives you permission to link this
    OpenJDK Code with certain code licensed by Oracle as indicated at
    http://openjdk.java.net/legal/exception-modules-2007-05-08.html
    ("Designated Exception Modules") to produce an executable,
    regardless of the license terms of the Designated Exception Modules,
    and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under GPL2,
    provided that the Designated Exception Modules continue to be
    governed by the licenses under which they were offered by Oracle.

As such, it allows licensees and sublicensees of Oracle's GPL2 OpenJDK Code to
build an executable that includes those portions of necessary code that Oracle
could not provide under GPL2 (or that Oracle has provided under GPL2 with the
Classpath exception).  If you modify or add to the OpenJDK code, that new
GPL2 code may still be combined with Designated Exception Modules if the
new code is made subject to this exception by its copyright holder.
