There is no standard way to build an incomplete, optimistic call graph.
Soot always tries to build a conservative one.
If you are interested in an incomplete call graph, you need to somehow
specify in what way it should be incomplete, and this would depend on
your application. So, before implementing a generic solution, we would
need to agree on a way to specify the incompleteness.
I'm open to suggestions. I'd also like to hear about the kinds of
applications you're thinking of for which an incomplete call graph would
be acceptable. My experience is mostly with analyses requiring a
conservative one.
