Remove the forward class hint feature.
It was not documented, not properly tested and thus likely buggy. Judging from the code alone I spotted already one potential bug. Further more it was prominently making use of the infamous "arbitrary term as hint" feature. Since the only user in our CI seems to be a math-classes file that introduced the feature under a claim of "cleanup", I believe we can safely remove it without anyone noticing.
