Style is a modifier of object class.  As such, there is a many to one correspondence between style and object class.  For example, a FixedConstant can be π, +∞, -∞, NaN, etc.  Controls are another good example.  And, unfortunately, there is no good way to determine the style of an object from its reference.

I was wondering about it the other way around -- given an object with a given Style, then it must have a certain object class.  Is that mapping available?

LV never seems to have a problem telling us what something isn't, so much harder to figure out what it is...

The Style mapping would be interesting.  I usually try to create objects with the least specificity necessary.  That means I use GObject and Node classes a lot.  Lets me reuse a lot of code with the additional cast when I need a more specific class.

I could envision something like the Class Browser (oddly enough), search for a Style and have it create the Class Constant.
