Because I didn't think that 'class Spam' always created a new
class.  I thought it would reuse a definition of one already exists.
I believe this is similar to what Smalltalk does.

Because it didn't fit my model of how the language worked, so
was more effort to learn.

The problem was I wanted to add a method to an existing class.
The method definition was fine.
