Creating Objects from the .scm file

[Pau Fernandez Duran]

Hi all, 

I just would like to know if there is any way in which I could create an
object using a class object specified in a .scm file. As an example, we
could have:

(list
 (cons 'colony
       (make-instance 'AntColony
                      #:antClass ArmyAnt      <--------- Right here !
                      ...

This is useful if you want to switch between diferent classes of ants in
the same colony without having to compile each time. I was thinking of
using the string "ArmyAnt" and calling a function (which I don't know if
really exists) _get_class_from_String() or similar, but I haven't found
such a function (yet).

Any hints??

Many thankx in advance,
