Oh, sure that would work but it seems as elegant as manually editing a
changeset file. I was hoping for something more cultured.

Slightly less 'manual edit' once the package has already been loaded is to open
the MC snapshot browser (MC browser, choose package, 'Browse') and then
add MultiString as a subclass of String (as above)
find MultiString class in the Snapshot browser
'load' the *VMMaker-plugin generation protocol
open an ordinary browser
delete MultiString.

Still feels rather a nut, atom-bomb, crack, situation.
