Indeed. I don't know how this could be implemented, but from a java perpective
(which is why I'm asking), looking for the symbol "java" alone wouldn't work
as this does not have any meaning in the JVM. What has a meaning is the
full class name "java.lang.String". This might have some impact on possible
implementations.
