Comment (by simonpj):
Capturing a bit more email; Simon M writes: My vote would be:
{{{
:info class Show
:info type Show
:info instance Show
}}}
where `:info Show` displays information about everything called "Show".
I know that classes and types share the same namespace currently, but it
might not always be so.
