Contexts should have their own instance of a class loader for this
precise reason.
There is some effort going into working out how to load container
wide classes (ie: classes that all contexts need). That will obviously
require one class loader to be shared across all contexts.
That doesn't affect the need for a CL per context for CL specific
stuff though.
