The problem is that to "gather" it you file it in, you can't get a class
definition into the image without creating the class object (or doing a
*lot* of work to analyze the code before executing it).

The best thing would be not to allow it--clean dependencies is what you
really want--but for legacy reasons it needs to be handled to some extent.
