I am not sure how it is supposed to be used. I couldn't find any
tests that actually tie it in to anything.
Are ClassEditor and MetaclassEditor supposed to replace Class and
Metaclass? It looks ot me like I would have to change the
MCPackageLoader to use ClassEditor and MetaclassEditor whenever it
currently uses Class and Metaclass. Is that the idea?
