Description

The agent currently assumes that methods that start with get.*, is.*, and has.* are getters of some sort, and so are not interesting enough to record.

This assumption isn't valid in some applications, so it should possible to disable it.

Research direction

Start by locating the Java agent logic that treats methods beginning with get., is., and has.* as getters. Trace how agent configuration is defined and applied, then make recording of these methods configurable and verify both the default behavior and the disabled behavior with focused tests.
