Because ALL objects do have a class. Right? if you want to change the
semantics of #class then just subclass and change it.
This is not the real reason, but in addition because since previously
#class used to have a special bytecode, it means it was understood by
"everybody". So at least with this we don't break anything.
For me it does not make sense to get a #dnu for #class when the object
really has a class.

You cannot tell that to me ;)  I was the one who spent 2 days to remove all
the 10 menthods tryNamedPrimitive* from ProtoObject.
