class of cons?

There is no class object for conses:

(classof <x>)                                 [DX]
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Returns the class of an object x .

Example:
? (classof (new object))
= ::class:object


? (classof '(1 2 3))
= ()
? (classof ())
= ()


I was surprised by this, perhaps it should be mentioned in
the online help. It would be a problem if there are other
kinds of objects for which 'classof' could return nil.
