Hit Send too soon...

Thanks Basile. As it turned out I was already doing something 
very similar for mapping types to interfaces and to other types, 
using shared static constructors to perform registration into 
associative arrays, e.g.

TypeInfo_Class[TypeInfo_Class]
      and
TypeInfo_Interface[TypeInfo_Class]

So I can easily add

TypeInfo_Interface[string]
      and
TypeInfo_Class[string]

as part of the existing registration process and then expose a 
simple lookup method. Thanks for the good idea! :)
