What did you guys do on this?  I think instance based stuff is important
for non-developer types...most people don't look at the world in terms
of a class hierarchy.  Have you seen http://spair.swiki.net/delegation
...it's got some useful stuff regarding mirrors and reflection (along
with primitives to support such).
