We could do it by creating a stub class (PDFPage and/or
PDFCircleElement in Alexander's example) with a special "new" that
would first load the required package ?

Why we cannot load XML parser when needed.
Because JSON, SVG, XML.... and output depends on the scenario.
I perfectly agree. Ideally, the image should be small, and support
loading on demand. However, as fas as I know, there is no such
infrastructure in Pharo. How can I load code only when it is needed?
I cannot realistically rewrite expressive like
PDFPage new add: (PDFCircleElement new)
into:
((Smalltalk globals includesKey: #PDFPage)
ifTrue: [ Smalltalk globals at: #PDFPage ]
ifFalse: [ "Gofer invocation to load PDF Exporter"
Smalltalk globals at: #PDFPage ]) new add: (Smalltalk at:
#PDFCircleElement) new
That would be insane. Loading on demand is indeed important. Java
does it pretty well, Pharo should do it too.
But infrastructure (even a basic one) is needed for this.
