Oh! I see what you mean. That would be a good approach.

H'mmm... this is over my head. I'm not sure how to inspect a class
object.
I tried doing:
MyClass inspect
and also poking around the menus, but it looks like I'm inspecting an
instance of the class, not the class itself -- the class variable is
not displayed.
How do you edit data in a class interactively? Probably not what I
want, as you say, but sounds interesting.
