Yes, this is how OOEU handles binding and 'shrouding.' It converts everything
to IL code, and basically saves the symbol table, using the same encoding
as database.e, but just doesn't encrypt anything like Rob does.
IL code itself isn't really obfuscated, except to a casual examimation. In
fact, OOEU comes with an IL disassembler.
