Feature to discover all subclasses of some base class, even if this would be
limited to all subclasses present in one package. This would enable us to make
a factory of instances without hardcoding the classnames in the factory class,
they could be instantiated through reflection...

Example
  Person -> Employee
         -> Manager
It would be nice to discover you can do something with employees or managers,
and when a class Customer is added, the application can discover this
dynamically.
