I don't know what you mean, sorry.

I get the impression that you were referring to the part where I talked
about the "object description" for the runtime system.  Compilation is
of no help here.  It's already all happening in C code.

Maybe rewriting in a language with a bit more introspection might make
an "object description" more-or-less readily available (maybe the
Remacs work might qualify), but we'd still need to connect that with
a GC and with pdump etc...
