Privileged module idea

[Oliver Gierke]

Hi,

I like the idea. Especially the aspect that it allows you to identify which of the modules have privileged access at runtime.

Also I guess it might even allow only certain modules of e.g. Spring to actually require that access, i.e. only the ones that perform bean instantiation etc. Not sure about the breadth of that effect but at first glance it sounds like it might be worthwhile fleshing out the details of your suggestion (how do modules declare they want to be privileged ones? etc.)

Cheers,
Ollie
