I bet even that can be fixed, though. introspection can just be a matter
of hauling around run-time metadata, and dynamic class definition a
matter of implementing a sort of "indirection class" at worst, depending
on how you've implemented the compiler.

What made you do this, out of interest? Purely the thought it'd be cool,
or was there some particular project in mind?
