There was a discussion on this last year I think when the singleton
design pattern was discussed. It turns out there is no way of
accessing the class or each-subclass slots without an instance of the
class.

One possible work around is not to use the class allocated slot but to
use a normal function accessing a global variable or some similar
scheme.
