Yes, that's exactly what I meant. The only solution in such a case
would be for the environment to call the compiler at run time, and
compile classobj then. This means of course that in such cases the
compiler must be included in the "executable".

I believe this has been done in other dynamic languages.

Typed-extensions, as you mention, would also help.
