This may be a good topic to continue on serviceability-dev as there may 
be additions to be JDWP and JDI to support some of these debugger 
use-cases. JVM TI has the module functions that are needed expand 
readability or the packages that are exported or opened for tools doing 
instrumentation and it's exactly the same support needed when generating 
code in the target VM to do expression evaluation. The summary is the 
it's not com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine API or JDWP and it probably should.
