Playing around with this a little more, it seems that classOf[Animal] is
"this.Animal" in Spark and "Animal" in normal Scala.
Also, trying to do something like this:
class Zoo[A <: *this.*Animal](thing: A) { }
works in Scala but throws a weird error in Spark:
"error: type Animal is not a member of this.$iwC"
