Yes exactly, such a classifier should return a list of types. The
Marginalia symbol annotator gets this right and annotates each symbol
with multiple characters. I like this annotation functionality when
doing Elisp hacking. Also `marginalia-annotate-variable` is quite useful.

Jens, where are you using this classifier in your configuration?

Daniel
