That would be a fine idea. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward 
way telling that you called methods on the security object in the class 
definition.

When you call Globals.InitializeClass(your_class), it looks for a 
ClassSecurityInfo object, and doesn't find one.

The fact that your class definition had the side-effect of altering the 
module's security object doesn't leave any traces in the class object 
that results from your definition.
