Because if classes have that kind of precedence, and you have a page on a
certain concept which happens later to have a class by the same name, you
don't want to have to move that content to another page just so that the
class gets the main entry.

How do you want to document things across classes? Because always
documenting things class-by-class removes some of the big picture. Perhaps
they should be documented in a page called "/object" which would contain
everything common to all t_objects, for example. Most classes don't define
a method for every one of the built-in selectors, but some aspects of
those methods/selectors are still defined at that level rather than in the
class that defines the method.
