This function:

enables a program to instantiate any class defined in the program. To
make it work, though, every class in the program has to have a TypeInfo
generated for it. This leads to bloat:

and sometimes the bloat can be overwhelming.
The solution seems straightforward - only have Object.factory be able to
instantiate classes marked as 'export'. This only makes sense anyway.
What do you think?
I need to look over my code that I've written for my to be web
application server.
But: I'm a little concerned that if there is no alternative we won't be
able to seriously be able to have a web application server ala JSP
servlet style.
So while export may work, perhaps a slightly different approach. If an
interface/class is marked as export, it gets inherited. So an child
class/implementation would also be export because a super
interface/class was export.
This would make me a lot happier.
