By "meta data" do you mean the object and class layout, and stuff like
that?

Afraid not.  In theory, I suppose, it could be deduced by reading the
compiler code.  This isn't something I'd want to do, though.

I hate to say it, but I guess you'll have to wait for the runtime
release.  I don't believe a date has been set, but I do know we're
working on it as fast as we can.  I realize this is an unsatisfying
answer.
