It's certainly an approach.

Yes, that would be a workaround if your environment is purely 
configuration file based. Your usage is rather unique.

They don't currently exist but some equivalents will most likely come to 
exist in time. Due to the way things are architected adding any of them 
is not a huge job.

I don't foresee it ever being implemented. Some higher level concepts 
*could* be done which internally create the primary object types.
