That is description, not classification. Rocks for example are
classified as Igneous, Metamorphic or Sedimentary. Things are either
in a class, or they are not. It is binary and not optional. What we
can do in the case of method classes, is change which properties
determine some of the classes and also decide whether the class name
must be included in the title. Not assigning a class or sub-class to
some groups of methods is also an option, if that's what you mean by
situations where it is not useful.
