Comment (by vbraun):
Let me just remind you of the standard lore against using string contents
for program flow: It makes it much harder to debug. Python, like pretty
much any programming language, protects you from typos by raising errors
at the parser stage. But if you encode information in the class name then
no parser in the world is going to tell you whether you have a typo or
not. Well-designed code may contstruct names from code, but getting code
from names is a bad idea.
