[Openmcl-devel] change objc class?

[Bill St. Clair]

Never done it myself, but apparently it's possible, in a limited way,
nothing like CLOS change-class:

http://stackoverflow.com/posts/679866/revisions

obj->isa = [NewClass class];

This only changes the class that receives method calls for that
object; it doesn't change the object's layout in memory. Thus, this is
only really useful when you have a set of classes with the same ivars
(or one with a subset of the others') and you want to switch between
them.
