RTTI/Reflection. Especially useful for serializing classes. And that also works well with Variants.

But normally, wanting to create a var of "some random type" means that your class hierarchy is flaky.

Indeed, but all of those are basically run-time information, not compile time information perse.
And variants should be forbidden in a compiled language. Use Python instead.
