This just doesn't make sense to me:

...     random = (8273.199, 517)

--> Stuff.blue.name == 'blue'
--> Stuff.blue.value == 1

--> Stuff.china.name == 'china'
--> Stuff.china.value == ???

--> Stuff.random.name == 'random'
--> Stuff.china.value == ???

In order to make this work at all, we have to support auto-numbering, and I 
didn't think we were going to do that in the
class syntax?

I suppose the other option is to have `.value` be whatever was assigned (1, 'really big country', and (8273.199, 517) ), and the fact that `int(Stuff.china) ` blows up and doesn't store easily in a database is the programmers issue...
