I believe the flag should mention that what is traced is just the dynamic

perhaps "-Djdk.instrument.traceDynamicUsage=true"
There is static, load-time, and dynamic instrumentation. The
Instrumentation API supports load-time and dynamic. If there is static
instrumentation going on then it happens before the class bytes are
loaded. Is that what you mean?
Or maybe you mean how the agent is deployed? The opt-in tracing right
now is independent of how the agent is started so it works for
-javaagent, Launcher-Agent-Class, and agents that are dynamically loaded
via the attach mechanism. Maybe you are arguing that it should be
limited to agents that are dynamically loaded?
