I don't agree with not fixing something based on some speculations about
the future - ant2 doesn't exist.

Adding 'named' class loaders is a good idea IMHO ( we have named
classpaths, each can be easily associated with a single class loader
instance ). Adding some 'predefined' or automatic named loaders 
may not be needed, neither 'adding class to a named loader at runtime'.

I think a 'small steps' solution would be better - what about 
implementing the 'named loaders' first. I have some experience 
with loaders, and I think that would solve most current problems. 

The antlib/ autoloading, etc can then be controlled explicitely.
