Description

Creating objects at cook time that are exported into the cooked package is a possible cause of indeterminism, and therefore we have banned it in engine classes and will fire a warning about it.

Currently there are too many instances of the warning to turn them on, so we have gated the warning behind a commandline argument and will turn it on and will remove the gate only after fixing the known issues.

Current known issues:
