Subject: Accessing Ruby class from C extention

I know it's possible to write Ruby in C but is it possible to instantiate 
a Ruby object (defined only in a Ruby class; no C) in a C extention and 
then call methods on that object in C?

I know we can instantiate Strings (rb_str_new2("some string")), Arrays 
(rb_ary_new), and Hashes for example in a C extention, but these classes 
are all defined in C.

I'm thinking it's probably not possible to do this, but maybe there's a 
trick to it that I don't know about... Otherwise I'll just have to rewrite 
several Ruby classes in RubyC.
