No, or not without pain.  At the point where I want to deal with things instances don't exist but classes do.  In particular macros need to know the layout so they can creat 'accessors' which compile into aref of arrays of known element type.

For a while I thought of using class-allocated slots and allocate-instance to create an instance which I could then use to retrieve the slots but it was just too horrible.
