Oh, no, I grokked that. The way I intend to use it (i.e. compatibly with
what happens in earlier JDKs) my agent it will be loaded by either the
bootstrap or system loader and hence will be in their respective unnamed
module.
What I don't want to do is export the API provided by a concealed
class/package that exposes a module check -free setAccessible to
anything other than the Byteman class which uses it. If I follow your
suggestion then I would potentially expose setAccessible to any class in
the system classpath. So, rather than use module import/export checks I
think I need to employ a caller class check.
