True enough. My real preference is not to have any user objects
floating around at load time. :-)

If we do start supporting load-time actions by user-created
objects we will need to surround those actions with all the
same protections that surround tests, so that exceptions
don't escape. I don't feel we need quite the same level of
protection from extensions, although we need some.

It's not a question of how smart the users are - its that
NUnit is a framework that is supposed to be able to execute
bad code and survive!
