outputs:

A: testclassname.A, B: testclassname.B

Oh, but that's only the name!

The trouble is that window classes have a lot of attributes -- styles, background brushes, etc. -- that are all shared across instances.

There is currently no way (that I know of) to allow a subclass to define its own attributes, *without* also giving it a chance to define them per-instance instead of per-class.
