Does anyone know of any code hacks that would allow a developer

I'd suspect you could quite possibly do this in a plugin with the
dynamic API but not in native RB Code
I don't think it's possible to do this for RB-made classes, but it
has been possible for intrinsic and plugin classes even before the
dynamic API was introduced.
I was thinking of RealNewInstance but it's been a bit so I could
easily be wrong
Doesn't that take a name ?
I'm not sure I see the point though - even if you could do this,
you'd need to cast "instance" to "MyCustomClass" before you can do
anything useful with it.
Very true but then I think Alexander knows that
Without introspection of some kind to determine method, etc I'm not
sure that creating a class by name is useful for exactly this reason
