The singleton pattern is used in MVEL, with knowledge of the tradeoff. MVEL
has a strong emphasis on maintaining interpreted-mode performance.
MVEL contains two runtime systems: an interpreter, and a compiler/runtime.
Unlike other ELs, MVEL does not simply bootstrap the compiler, and execute

Taking a brief look at the MVEL type conversion API it could be
somewhat difficult to get this information into the converter on a per
request basis, especially if converters are singleton scoped. This
information isn't available on the source in most cases. It is usually
externalized in th
MVEL has a pluggable type-conversion API, just like OGNL. Since it's
source-from-many in it's design, you can easily design converters that
perform as much introspection as necessary to determine formatting, etc.
