Oups, I miss the half of my previous email :-) I press the wrong button...

Right!
I want people to load a changeset to run whatever they want to run, and to let them to unload it. The result of
+loading a changeset in a classbox is the state after unloading is the same then before (more or less let's
+say). You can even load 3 changesets which add the same methods on the same class in the system, and you will
+also be able to test them at the same time! Because a classbox is a namespace, each of the changes can defines
+a same class...

Cheers,
Alexandre
