Dynamic inheritance?Consider class C that inherits from class B in a (statically) typed language. I would like to extend, at runtime, an instance of type B to type C: B b = new B(); Assert(b is B); b.Method(); // invokes B.Method() extend b to C(); // partial constructor for C Assert(b is B); Assert(b is C); b.Method(); // invokes C.Method() override Is there any reason why this should not be allowed in terms of type safety? If not, what is it called and is there any language out there that supports this?
