In src/ops/object.ops, we have:
=item B<class>(out PMC, invar PMC)
Get the class PMC for the object in $2 and put it in $1.
This is exactly what I'm looking for, but it's not currently documented
in pdd15. Can this be "made official" one way or the other -- i.e.,
"officially adopted" or "officially rejected"?
Also, I don't know that it matters, but some of the tests seem to
use 'class' as a local PMC symbol.
