I don't remember exactly what I had to work around with the class patch, but I
do remember that it bit me. Something related to the tokenizing of package
names -- I believe in force_word in toke.c -- went complicated really fast.
Several other spots in the tokenizer check for the tick before checking for
double colons. Premature pessimization.

The Klingon module is a source filter and, thus, irrelevant to this discussion.
