So the question is, should the method store the class, or the name? Looking up by name could pick up a totally unrelated class, but storing the undecorated class could miss something important in the decoration.

Couldn't we provide a mechanism whereby the cell can be adjusted to point to the decorated class? (heck, the interpreter has access to both classes after execution of the class statement - it could probably arrange for this to happen automatically whenever the decorated and undecorated classes are different).

Cheers, Nick.
