Which is something I did not expect. But running into is what makes doing something new interesting. :-) And I just realized something else: I just assumed that the "del instance" command did something more than it should, but there is a good chance that the mere action of creating an instance with the same name as the class made the classname disappear from the internal availability list, and not return after the instance (and I assume its name too) got deleted.
