I have been experimenting with ES6 classes and am wondering if you can change class names dynamically? For example

class [Some dynamic name] {};

There is probably a better solution for whatever you are trying to achieve, but you can assign a class expression to an object:

let classes = {};

classes[someName] = class { ... };

This didn't really change in ES2015: if you want to create a dynamically named binding, you have to use an object or some other mapping instead.
