Dev,

No, it is not. There would be no way for other developers to know how
to use it as it would not be available at dev time, or at compile time.

What are you trying to do?

You're looking to have runtime-configured data domains. To do that use
a custom data container class that wraps a Hashtable. Hashtables are
key-value type containers and the keys are unique so they lend
themselves nicely to this problem.
