I think that's a fine idea. The only difficulty was ASnative functions,
which must always be available, independently of whether a class has
been loaded or not. I've started introducing separate methods to
register native functions with the VM on startup so that classes can
still be loaded on demand.

I don't know what Chad was still planning to do; on-demand-loading
basically works.
