Why? What do underscores signify wrt identifiers? (In SC it's used to
represent "pseudoprivate" properties, when used as a property name...)
Isn't "_class" easier to read, without having the side effect of
making you wince every time you read it?

Alternatively, you could call it "klass" if you really needed to avoid
using the technically-reserved word 'class' ... however, the whole
discussion is moot since I cleaned up that method to figure out what
it does and in so doing realized that method doesn't operate on a
class anyway, just an Application *object*...
