Just noticed an odd thing when I was trying Jacob's code.
This works great:
     auto x = new someClass();
     Object o = x;
     void delegate() dg;
     foreach(i, m; __traits(derivedMembers, someClass))
       {
         writeln("i=", i, "  m=", m);

         if(m != "__ctor")
           {
             dg.funcptr = cast(void function()) o.classinfo.vtbl[i + 6];
             dg.ptr = cast(void*) o;
             dg();
           }
       }

but this doesn't (it segfaults):
     Object o = Object.factory("someClass");
     void delegate() dg;
     foreach(i, m; __traits(derivedMembers, someClass))
       {
         writeln("i=", i, "  m=", m);

         if(m != "__ctor")
           {
             dg.funcptr = cast(void function()) o.classinfo.vtbl[i + 6];
             dg.ptr = cast(void*) o;
             dg();
           }
       }


Is the object returned by Object.factory() not the same somehow as the
one returned by new()?

For Object.factory you need the fully qualified name, i.e. 
SomeClass.classinfo.name. If Object.factory can't find a class name it 
will just return null.
