I thought it odd that we lookup symbols including the *, e.g.
Duplicate vtable: 0x00007ffd233633d8:
  - CompiledMethod (extends CodeBlob)
  - CompiledMethod* (extends null)

And iterating over  agent.getTypeDataBase().getTypes(); we see e.g. jbyte, 
jbyte*, jbyte** which looks odd and unnecessary.

We know what a pointer is, so not needing to lookup up "jbyte*" might be good 
also.
But that might be more change than we want to do right now, so this double 
check looks good.
