I'm not sure (and given Taylor's reply it is not easily doable anyway).

However, I find the idea of offering auto-loadable modules which we do

On the other hand we have not heard[1] of many crash reports that are due
to auto-unload, so maybe the problem is not that bad after all and we could
fix the broken ones when we catch them.
