Hiding class and method symbols in the compiled program?

Hi again,

To prevent my program from being too easily hacked, I'd like that class and
method names be not visible in the Mach-O binary.

I did a quick test by building a Foundation tool. I turned off debugging
symbols in the project options, and select the "deployment" target
variation.
Using "sample" in the terminal still shows the readable names of my class...

Is it possible to really hide these names? Say I have a class that handle
serial number verifications, it's going to be really easy to bypass if its
name is clearly visible.

Any idea?
