Sounds reasonable. E.g if you use GST as scripting language of an app it
is not too nice that it can take down the entire application.

The alternative/on top of that is to pay the price on loading. It would
be nice to have an advanced >>#fileIn: that will diff the classes and
remove the missing selectors, find selectors that access removed
variables, etc.
