Much of it is even exposed, just not in a convenient manner.  A list of 
classes is available via ModuleInfo, and ClassInfo provides a means of 
finding the ClassInfo instance of a class by name.  From there it should 
be possible to obtain a list of parent classes, and so one could build a 
hierarchy graph with some work.
