Initial Comment: if a single loader is registered multiple times with sys_register_loader(), it will be inserted multiple times in the loader-chain. thus it might be called several times when a new object is instantiated.

i guess this could be considered a feature, but i was not able to think of any application that would need such a feature. otoh i stumbled across it, as a (rather naive) implementation of a new loader registered itself permanently, resulting in a very long list of identical loaders to be executed (yes, the bug was in my loader code, but still i think it rather weird that a loader can be registered several times)

so here is a tiny patch that will prevent already registered loaders to be added to the list of loaders.
