For what it's worth, the first time I saw the macro mentioned on-list, I
wondered why you needed a special macro for classes when you had a
perfectly fine one for structs.

Due to the fine distinction between struct/class, naming it _CLASS_
would be doing everyone a disservice as it gives it connotations it
shouldn't have.

As for what it should be named, I won't suggest anything, as long as
it's less ambigious.
