[Mono-list] Instantiating all classes from a namespace

[Charlie Poole]

That doesn't instantiate them, which is much harder in general.

Say a Type has only one consructor, which takes an object of
class A. Now you have to instantiate A. But maybe A ony has
a constructor requiring a B... :-)

Hopefully, the OP doesn't want to solve the most general case, 
but has some specific limits he has not told us about yet.
