Actually it is quite orthogonal and consistent with the
rest of the language. X'Class is like String from this point
of view, it is a general type, and you need a specific instance
to declare an object or a record component of this type.

There is another language that you might see here in which
String variables are generally permitted, and in that language
you would also expect to find X'Class record components (as
well as automatic storage management, and a generally rather
different semantic level).
