So I still prefer "forward class".

I don't think it's as clear as "forward class"

'forward class' for an incomplete class is not at all clear to me.  It is not clear to me which part of speech you intend it to be: noun, verb, adjective, or adverb.  You must have some experience with 'forward' in a different context that makes it clearer to you.


It's a reference to the term "forward declaration":
