Hmm, thinking about this some more, the thing is that if a private object
is activated via an executable, then there is really no chance if any
activations from other process returning objects in that process, and
shared library activations (which will be in that process) are implicitly
"private" anyways.

We need to get a list of use cases to find out how this private thing is
supposed to work. There are some issues (such as "what if an executable
creates & registers multiple objects upon startup, irrelevant of whether
it was activated for a private object") that could cause problems.
