[Grace-core] Class syntax

[Kim Bruce]

I'd rather that we treat the repl specially than allowing multiple definitions in the same scope -- which are virtually always mistakes in regular code.  The repl could be in a dialect that would open up new scopes as necessary or would allow replacing old definitions by new (but hopefully only after warning the user).
