! The class slot has to be a union of a word and a classoid
! for TUPLE: foo { a maybe{ foo } } ; and maybe{ union{ integer float } }
! to work.
! In the first case, foo is not yet a tuple-class when maybe{ is reached,
! thus it's not a classoid yet. union{ is a classoid, so the second case works.
! words are not generally classoids, so classoid alone is insufficient.
