Review Comment:
   > I agree that this would be slightly better but I don't see a problem with 
the class loading. As long as it is not instantiated it should be OK.
   
   Although we block class instantiation if the given class isn't whitelisted, 
one can still trigger execution of a static initialiser block of any class 
present on the classpath I think, when we load the class before checking if it 
is whitelisted or not. When we don't even load the class, then it isn't cause 
any possible headache either in the future.
