You usually _don't_ need to go via class names; for example this works
fine:

 class Foo
   # ...
 end

 class Bar
   # ...
 end

 classes = [ Foo, Bar ]

Classes are themselves objects in Ruby, so if you have a class you can
simply call the #new method on it.

 instances = classes.map { |c| c.new }
