Agents specified on the command line with `-javaagent` or loaded by 
tools into a target VM via the attach mechanism can use Instrumentation 
redefineModule to open any package in any module to other modules. Every 
effort was made to provide agents (both JVM TI and j.l.instrument based) 
with the APIs needed to work with, and instrument, modules that have 
chosen to encapsulate their internals.
