The only way to get a pointer to an artificial subclass is by using ObjC runtime calls to retrieve the class pointer. If someone does this, they probably want the name of that class, rather than the Swift superclass. rdar://165919756
The modules in the 'stdlib/private' directory contain APIs that are considered private to the Swift project. Don't use them outside of the repositories related to the Swift project. These APIs are used for building Swift build and test automation tools, represent early prototypes of APIs that are not intended to be included in the standard library soon, modules to support ports to other platforms, and other similar needs that are private to the Swift project and its development process.
