You’re not implicitly declaring “A” because it is not a classifier: They
all have at least two parts.  In this example:

	Topic :: Software Development :: Version Control :: CVS

these implied classifiers may be useful in your application:

	Topic :: Software Development :: Version Control
	Topic :: Software Development

however, “Topic” alone is not a classifier, and is not very useful
(“this distribution defines one topic”).

Maybe we should provide a module in distutils2 to make useful operations
with Trove classifiers strings.
