The bridges don't need this functionality, as they can build the
bridging classes as they are created, rather than doing lazy loading.
If you can do that as well, that would seem to be an obvious approach.
The contents of a nib file shouldn't be a mystery, but should be known
ahead of time, so you ought to be able to create all of your classes
before you load the nib.
