So what happens to instances of classes that were defined in the isolated 
project if they don't get GC'd?

I wonder whether (at least in terms of what's required to assemble various 
images) it's even important to support clean unloading. I for one wouldn't 
mind a scheme where I could build up a custom image with my desired modules 
(as long as that worked reliably).

But then maybe I'm too used to cross-compilation, etc. from embedded systems.
