If that's the case, then Bundle.update() seems like a strange
interface. It uses the current location string to fetch a new version
of the same bundle, or at least a bundle with the same symbolic name.
But what if the location string -- interpreted as a URL -- resolves to
a bundle with the /same/ symbolic name and /same/ version? Does that
just replace the current bundle associated with that location string?
Or what if the location string resolves to a bundle with a /different/
symbolic name? Say that bundle {foo, 1.0.0} is installed with a
location string of "http://localhost/supplyRandomBundle.cgi";, and we
call Bundle.update(), and the resolved input stream provides bundle
{bar, 2.3.4}? Does the framework care?
