JESS: Is there a better Jess equivalent for pack.age.MyClass.class?

If there's an object of a class around, one can do (?obj getClass).

Given only the class name,  the only thing I can think of is
   (call Class forName pack.age.MyClass)
which can be wrapped into a deffunction but still needs the
full class name as an argument.

There's no static field "class" in a class, and therefore
   (call MyClass class)
cannot work (after an import of MyClass).

Is there any better way?
