What's in a CONSTANT_Class?

[John Rose]

Whatever tag numbering scheme we do will have to move
up by two, since CONSTANT_Module_info.tag = 19 and 
CONSTANT_Package_info.tag = 20.

I think we can take our next node at tag 21, for CONSTANT_Q
or CONSTANT_Value or whatever we were calling it on Wednesday.

I particularly like your ClassType_info; I'd like to use that for MVT,
with T_VALUETYPE (14) as the only mode_code that is valid,
at first.  Later T_OBJECT (12) for symmetry, and T_UNION (3? 16?).

(Much much later T_INT or another primitive, associated with a Class,
is a very interesting thing to contemplate.)
