I like the way you have solved this.

No, I don't think this is necessary. We should be able to make the right
decision.

Well... the problem is that we can't use the Current classloader because
that would be Forge's classloader. We need the classloader of the project,
which is not actually classloaded, so we would need to classload the
project (potentially very slow without an index.)
