OK,
but we must try to be smart.
Application developers and users do not
want the start-up time we get if we load
each and every class regardsless if we need it or not.

I think this a 2 problems really,
* implicit class use = classes return from function calls
* a smart but effective way to use what we need, not more or less
  in fewer lines.

I submit these to the task manager,
but not for the first release.
