After some tests I've since given up this approach. We'll use instance? directly. During development we'll use case + class names. This solves the dynamic deftype/record definition problem. This has limitations as names are not unique in a complex class loader situation, something I don't care so much about, but other people might and may have better ideas. In AOT compiled code we'll assume the class hierarchy is stable since we can't do any better than what deftype/record guarantee - in this case we'll use if + actually classes in the instance? tests.
