  Which is a bogus reason we don't need to worry about.

  Which seems like a silly way of forcing the programmer to do the right
thing, but I can understand the "safety" aspect. I don't really care
where classes are defined, it's just my long-time habit to define them
in headers, so that was what I did when I generated the new AS3 classes.

  The real issue is whether to use the older *_class_init() or
Class::init() style of initializing.
