Does anyone know if there is a way to retrieve a collection of all
instances of a certain type in the current AppDomain? I want to have
a function on my utility class with the following signature:

public static IEnumerable<T> GetAllInstances()

Does anyone know if this is possible?

There's no general way to do that. It can be done from a debugger, but
not from your code (unless you write the class type and keep track of
all instances yourself).

How does the debugger do it? Is there a debugger API?
