I don't know the internals really of XOTcl but basically making an
object a class would mean giving it the methods 'instproc' and 'new'
and various other stuff, thus allowing an instance of it to be created.
I guess it's some internal thing if it has to be recreated? In some
sense it would be 'pure' if this was possible.

I wonder if this has any relevance to changing the meta-class of a
class?
