No, no, no, no, NO!

This is not the purpose of the 'hollow' keyword, as you have indicated 
that you understand, elsewhere in this thread.  In addition to the 
prohibitive difficulty in implementing such a feature, it would just add 
to the confusion over the purpose of 'hollow', a confusion that is 
acknowledged even in the documentation (Questions and Tips, formerly in 
the tutorial, but now in the online knowledge base).
