I suppose the idea is that the classes can be garbage-collected once
all the objects referencing it are gone. If they are needed again,
they are reloaded and re-initialized, receiving a different identity.
It might be possible to implement this in the present JDK 7, using a
custom class loader which turns those annoated classes into anonymous
classes.
