With the last option, how would this work when reading text 3DMF? Would 
it not check against the name of
the class "Light" instead of "LightData" as required? Not that I have 
any idea how text 3DMF I/O works in
Quesa, but I assume the class names are there for some purpose. A neat 
idea apart from that.
