I have trodden the path of mixin templates. I believe the only 
way to register classes for a factory mechanism is to involve 
"static this" constructors.

For any non-trivial code it gets me to unresolvable circular 
dependencies in the modules. I request the developers not to rush 
with deprecating Object.factory until a mechanism is developed to 
creak circular dependencies with modules. I see some discussion 
on the following thread which may be related to what I am trying 
to say.
