One point of (probably minor) interest; we changed it to be "string"
here, because it allowed us to get readable text in SQL queries.
i.e. before we had:
insert into blah ... '%{Class}'
...expanding to:
insert into blah ... '0xTHEHEX'
...and if it's a string we get:
insert into blah ... 'thestring'
...but that only works because we *know* that we're putting readable
strings into Class everywhere.
