Hm. That would behave less than desirably if getObjectClass() could
return a value that wasn't a member of the enum, but it's hard to
credit that happening. I guess I'd vote for removing the default:
case from all of the places that have "switch (getObjectClass(object))",
as forgetting to add an entry seems like a much larger hazard.
