I'm still hopeful that I can eliminate [[Class]] entirely from the ES.next specification. What is WebIDL really trying to accomplish when it specifies class values. Parameterizing toString. Trademarking objects? Something else. All the use cases I have seen for [[class]] an be accomplished some other way rather than by over-loading this specification device with additional meanings.
