Description Jesse Glick 1999-05-26 00:56:08 UTC 
When a new data loader is added to the loader pool, perhaps the loader for DefaultDataObject should go through its instances (which it would have to statically keep track of in a weak set) and ask t
he new loader whether it can recognize any of them. If so, the default data object should destroy itself and create the proper data object.

This would be useful in scenarios like: users open devel folder where there is a Makefile, shows up as DefaultDataObject. User decides to download makefile support module and installs it into running
IDE. Currently, their makefile will not suddenly become a makefile object; perhaps it should. Otherwise, they need to restart.
