Very obvious I would think. One can develop ones own interactive class
browser and code navigator. One can not bring up class help from "line 3
in x.py" but one can from "classname : MyClass at line 2 in z.py". With
the class name I can navigate directly to all sorts of class related
information without the need to delve into a physical usage of it e.g
program.py at line 3.
