Something like that. Note that such a query is not particularly OO-ish,
because getting a class' cone (totality of subclasses) works against the
modularity that inheritance is meant for. I don't think we should make
getting class cones particularly easy.
I see no reason to make it difficult on purpose.
The reason is that often the cone would be incomplete and therefore
confusing. It would also foster non-modular approaches to doing things.
