[swift-corelibs-dev] Query on Bundle.unload()

Hi Sai,

What I understand from the Swift runtime team is that unloading of Swift executables is basically unsupported. There are a lot of challenges to getting unloading right in general, because it can remove things like “constant” strings and cause mysterious crashes.
