(info "(eieio) Predicates") mentions
-- Function: eieio-class-name class
Return a string of the form ‘#<class myclassname>’ which should
look similar to other Lisp objects like buffers and processes.
Printing a class results only in a symbol.
but it is not right, the value is not string at all, it's a symbol
(defclass my-class () ())
;; => my-class
(eieio-class-name 'my-class)
;; => my-class
(type-of (eieio-class-name 'my-class))
;; => symbol
The git master produced the same result as Emacs 26.3. I notice Emacs
24.3's class-name produces the expected result and the function is
replaced by eieio-class-name since 24.4
(define-obsolete-function-alias 'class-name #'eieio-class-name "24.4")
however, these two functions are different. It seems eieio-class-name
contains a bug, the name suggests its value is a string, but it
returns a symbol.
