Yeah, I got it when I saw Jonas' reply. The IDE could list all visual
components in forms in a file and hand it to the compiler. And a

list could allow additional streaming types (for users code)
Either the IDE has to be able to provide a list of all instantiated
class types in a subtree of the inheritance tree, or it has to provide
a list of class that certainly are not instantiated. I'm not sure how
it could do either though, since a programmer could always instantiate
stuff directly in his code (unless there are classes reserved for
internal Lazarus use).
Simply a list of certainly instantiated types without any guarantees
about other classes would not be useful. The wpo infrastructure can
already extract that information from the source. Although it can only
know that these types "may" be instantiated, knowing it for sure is
not going to change the results of the analysis or generated code
(since it has to be pessimistic).
