This is (and has been) a long debate. To avoid repeating it, let's just 
say that it saves unnecessary coding for something that is necessary.
Class expressions that contain non-class characters are not well-formed 
and therefore mean nothing, but it is helpful to embed things like 
variables in ifvarclass for form classes as patterns.
