Ok, so now the bonus question:

Does that mean that it is not possible to implement a Java JVMTI agent
as Jigsaw modularised code?

I'll add the following to render the question more specific: Clearly,
you can deploy an agent that links to related code deployed as a
companion module. I am thinking about the code included in the agent jar
itself i.e. the one passed to the -javaagent command line argument or to
the VM_Attach dynamic load API.
