Probably not because now you have to know the name when you write the
static source code.  You said the names are discovered at runtime, so how
do you know it's `SomeClass`?  Put you classes into a dictionary with the
name as key.

`globals()` is a dictionary too, but it is more work to get an object by
name from it (globals()['SomeClass'] vs. some_dict['SomeClass']) and you
don't risk that some of your dynamically created classes overwrites an
existing one with the same name.
