How many bundles are we talking about, usually? Cocoa and the main 
application bundle? If so, then could we keep those two handy, and use 
[bundle classNamed: xxx] as a quick test to see whether the class is in 
there?

That does assume that classNamed: is cheaper than bundleForClass:.

I just saw that the NSBundleDidLoadNotification gives you the names of 
all classes from the bundle. I think this won't help us because it 
won't help us if the bundle was loaded before our stuff was 
initialized, right?
