Hm. Sorry. My last post included (at least) one unclear statement:

I know that a class data exists. But so far this datatype hasn't
proven to be very useful to me, because every time I tried to make
use of it, it lacked to coercions I would have needed to use it. So
my pledge rephrased:
Please make objects of class data accessible by means of pure
AppleScript and add coercions... and stop making AppleScript doing
coercions, where it really isn't necessary.
