    _______________________________________________________

Details:

As the title says, when we use the class function to set the class works fine
in @foo/foo.m, but if we instead call it directly we call it with the builtin
function send the error:

error: class: 'foo' is invalid as a class name in this context
error: called from
    foo at line 184 column 5

only to be clear, this works:

class(f, 'foo', expr)

this don't works:

builtin('class', f, 'foo', expr)

Why we can need call class with builtin?, when we overload the class function
of @foo only to get data instead of set.
To others examples imagine!


Thx. Cya.
