Use of GSAppKitUserBundles/Camaelon issues with Gorm

All,

I am writing this email to caution anyone using Camaelon that, since Camaelon
uses    poseAs: on some classes that it may cause problems with Gorm encoding
since it, in using poseAs:, replaces some of the classes in the Objective-C
runtime.   There is nothing that Gorm can do to detect this, so far as I know.

The above is just one example of the kinds of problems that can be caused.  I
also concerned about malicious use of this default to insert code into an
application.

I propose a simplistic solution:

A call-back, or a notification, or something that tells the application that
it's about to load a bunch of bundles and allows that application to make a
decision, at that point, to either allow or disallow the loading of the
bundles.

Thanks, GJC
