Hm... since the code to add new classes to the list will probably
end up looking exactly like the code to add symbols to the
symbol table, what if I just bloat the _symbol struct by adding
a t_class *s_class?  Would that affect performance?

Then searching for an existing class would be easy-- just do
a gensym and check if its s_class exists.
