This is the type of use-case where using Lookup objects might be a 
better choice. If you can coerce the user module to pass a suitably 
privileged Lookup to the framework then the framework will be able to 
inject classes without needing to open packages to the framework. I 
think this is an area where we need framework maintainers to do more 
exploration.
