>CLASS is Read-Only property :((( So, this technique would not work, and I still have to hack :(

Nadya,
You were close. I fall into second category of Dragan's developers but believe me it doesn't take 3 days maybe 30 mins and reusable :)
Yes class is readonly but you simply copy nondefault PEM, removeobject, addobject from your class and restore PEM.
If we wouldn't use some commands why they ever existed - aselobj, readexpression, readmethod, writemethod, cloneobject etc:)
