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?
Knee-jerk reaction: sensible and meaningful, but we need to make a good
