OQL mode notes
- This server normalizes client OQL input and wraps it for MAT parse-app command mode.
- You can send OQL with or without outer quotes.
- For class ranking and top consumers, prefer matparsereport with org.eclipse.mat.api:overview and parse ClassHistogram.txt.
- For object inspection, use simple field-level OQL patterns (INSTANCEOF, OBJECTS 0x...).
