>> Hey @shipilev First of all: Thanks for this useful library. I wanted to switch from jol 0.10 to 0.15 in one of my projects because of some issues on openJDK 15. I discovered that the ability to register visitors had been removed at some point. The interface `org.openjdk.jol.info.GraphVisitor` is actually still around. I find that feature quite useful as it allows users to compute some custom statistics of the object graph. I tried to use the `GraphLayout` to access the GPRs, but it's all package-private.
