Even if we can't reserve the names, I hope we can do the two other suggestions in time for release.
Additionally, we could say "instance of class ...".
We could do that, though it's already 'instance of'. Not sure on this one.

It's not necessarily a class you're requiring an instance of, it could (and according to some design disciplines "should") be an interface. I think the "did you mean..." is more useful if we don't make everything alias. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
