Thanks for the explanation. I'm happy to use Class/forName
permanently. I had changed to RT/classForName because of a prior
discussion with Rich about a desire for RT's class loading facilities
to be the ones we use from Clojure code.
Rich, would it be a good idea to expose the "initialize" boolean in an
additional version of RT/classForName?
