Why is caching disabled here? Maybe some superclass is already loaded.

And it would be nice to have separate(?) cache for these 'minimal' classes, lmi_isinstance() can be used quite a lot.

Just an idea, you don't need to cache whole class, just some dictionary class->superclass.

Already working on that. I will cache {class : superclass}. Is that for you?

lmi_isinstance is a LMIShell helper function, which checks if provided LMIInstance/LMIInstanceName is instance of provided LMIClass.
