and there is. some of my UI parsers *depends* on the fact that class list and
factory are there. i did that exactly to avoid manual registering of UI
classes, which is highly error-prone.

that is, some features are not removed 'cause there *may* be the code that
depends on those. now there *is* the code that depends on full module/class
infos and factory. this alone should rule "let's remove object.factory" out.
let's see if real code has more weight than imaginary code. ;-)
