This is not what bundles are intended for.  Bundles are ways of
loading code at runtime.  The reasons for doing so are dictated by
program requirements, not the development environment.  From a
development perspective, when your code gets loaded into your process
should be orthogonal to your environment.  Nothing prevents you from
splitting your code into multiple projects that all get compiled into
one executable in the end, achieving your compartmentalization without
abusing the dynamic loader.

You may be right; it's certainly incomplete.  One thing it
historically hasn't addressed well is the use of macros such as
@executable_path and @loader_path.  I *still* can't find mention of
@executable_path in the official documentation, despite its
criticality for certain functionality.

Never let anyone decide for you.  I'm more than happy to inform your
decisions, but I'm just some dude on the Intertron.  :)

Good luck!
