Try:
new P0, 'std::array' # PMC
new P1, 'Perl::PerlArray' # PMC (or class)
new P2, 'Package::SomeClass' # Class
At compile time the string can be converted to an integer enumerator.

Yep. The question does arise, if which range class enums are? Intermixed
with enum_class_<pmc> numbers?
And - what about:
typeof S0, P0 <=> classname S0, P0
(IMHO the HLL compiler can't always know, which op to use)
And the classname of objects vs the classname of classes (the classname
PMC is in different array slots).
