This could be the basis of a great "live" class browser, which I think is
about the only way to really tell what methods, etc. are available at any
given point in your code. It could allow any class to be loaded and run,
while not allowing them to execute "destructive" behavior (like, delete all
your rows in a database or similar). It could also allow the reloading of
the environment to start "fresh" - something people have asked for in other
context too.

I can't build it on Windows tho - I think my version of VC++ is incorrect.
Any chance we can get a precompiled binary? Plllleease? :)
