Yeesh, that's evil.  :(

It will be sweet, sweet justice if one of your own projects gets infected by
the kind of action-at-a-distance bug you're so blithely unconcerned about.

That was supposed to be a rhetorical question.  To be clear, I consider the
idea of a settable global variable determining library behavior completely
unacceptable.  Changing class load order somewhere in your code shouldn't do
things like change search results (because Stopfilters are applied differently
depending on who "won").
