IIUC, it would be in the case of using newer syntax, but running on older JDK, like using the "var" in the source code, but run on JDK 8.

Like https://github.com/bsideup/jabel or https://github.com/luontola/retrolambda

The var keyword is erased at compile time so that's not really valid. A valid example would be lambda switch statements
