This just doesn't make sense to me:

In order to make this work at all, we have to support auto-numbering, and I didn't think we were going to do that in the class syntax?
I suppose the other option is to have `.value` be whatever was assigned (1, 'really big country', and (8273.199, 517) ), and the fact that `int(Stuff.china) ` blows up and doesn't store easily in a database is the programmers issue... -- ~Ethan~
