mm.. why?

Because ALL objects do have a class. Right? if you want to change the semantics of #class then just subclass and change it.
This is not the real reason, but in addition because since previously #class used to have a special bytecode, it means it was understood by "everybody". So at least with this we don't break anything.
For me it does not make sense to get a #dnu for #class when the object really has a class.

the more we put to ProtoObject, the more it looks like Object.
at some point you will see not difference between them, and then
someone will come
with a brilliant idea of having one more "clean" class ahead - ProtoProtoObject.

You cannot tell that to me ;)� I was the one who spent 2 days to remove all the 10 menthods tryNamedPrimitive* from ProtoObject.
