[Python.NET] pythonnet appdomain(s)

Hello,

Is there a design reason that pythonnet loads C# assemblies into its own AppDomain rather than establishing a separate AppDomain? It would be useful for instance when developing in C# in parallel with writing python code (say, in the ipython REPL) to be able to reload C# assemblies dynamically.

Also, we've found it useful in Initialize() to enable shadow copying, to prevent file locking, ie

        internal static void Initialize() {
...

            AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;

            // prevent file locking
            domain.SetShadowCopyFiles();
            domain.SetShadowCopyPath(null);

Although these are deprecated methods, and really it should be establishing a new AppDomain as above.

Regards,
  Adam
