It's at least partially implemented. But I think going via props in that case isn't the best way to implement it. We have basically the problem that classes are only constructed at runtime, which has 2 negative impacts: associating the vtable info with the class needs some helper storage like the props and namespaces can only be vaguely attached to the correct class at runtime too. To get around that the following came to my mind: - we create a class when needed during compile time - it get's a flag set (one of private0..7) not_yet_finished_FLAG or such - newclass, when checking if a class exists, examines that flag and continues adding the runtime information - the classes constructed in that way are frozen into the PBC leo
