Public bug reported:

The attached script will illustrate the title.

It is about a sphere which is created as dynamic=False, then updated to
dynamic=True, in order to let rotate it with NewtonIntegrator.

Directly with the script as it is joined, you will observe that the
orientation of the sphere is unfortunately not at all modified.

But, "hokus pokus", (magic expression) comment l.27-28 about the
save/load, re-run and you will have the orientation which evolves...

The reason is in b->isDynamic() (in C++). In the first case (with save/load), you will have b->isDynamic()=0 (in C++), even if b.dynamic=True (in python)
Whereas, in the second case, things are as they should : b->isDynamic() = b.dynamic = True

You can easily check this with logs from NewtonIntegrator.cpp (I could
not attach the file with cout typed I used : no more than one attachment
it seems)
