> Adds CLI option to provide a factory FQCN which can create objects that you want to analyze. This is useful in situations where you have dependency classes or JDK classes that require non-null objects or have other validation in the constructor. These kinds of classes can't easily be modified, so it's nice to provide an alternative option for creating them.
