Using a custom classloader might work.  However, based upon what Martin 
has told me, the Java classloader design is completely broken because it 
is not compositional.  Therefore, requiring a custom classloader for 
Scala programs completely rules out the ability to use Scala in a number 
of important places, like Eclipse, where an alternate classloader cannot 
be specified.
