Ah, I see now.
Well regardless, it couldn't be done so conveniently/transparently
because Serializable!B wouldn't exist in the binary unless it was
actually created in code.
Hence proper runtime reflection is needed. I see no way out of this.

So the question is: is that technically impossible or not to
enhance Object.factory in such ways?
Unless someone else wants to correct me, I'm going to say
technically impossible. Object.factory constructs a class at

I don't understand how Object.factory could help with
serializing. But what would help is if we did get proper
runtime reflection.
All that'd be needed would be to have Object.factory working with
templates, here's how:
unittest{
class A{}
class B{int x;}
A a=new B;
