Same goes for using the core exporter: a nullified fieldDefinitions ... weird :-/

// DevelController.php

  public function nodeLoad(NodeInterface $node) {
    $exporter = new \SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter();
    return var_export($exporter->toArray($node));
//    return $this->loadObject('node', $node);
  }

In the latest version of Devel/Core this field is empty regardless of dumper used. One way to force Drupal to compute the value is by calling the getFieldDefinitions() method on the entity.

I think we need to add a comment that explains why is needed to call ::getFieldDefinitions() . Otherwise looks good +1

Something like that?

Yes, something like that . Or something like

// Field definitions are lazy loaded and are populated only when needed.
// By calling ::getFieldDefinitions() you are sure that field definitions
// are populated and available in the dump output.
