bl_idname requirements for 2.80
The python api change notes for 2.80 give new requirements for bl_idname. I'm getting an error telling me that "MAPLUS_OT_changetypebaseclass" is an invalid name:
RuntimeError: Error: Registering operator class: 'ChangeTypeBaseClass', invalid bl_idname 'MAPLUS_OT_changetypebaseclass', at position 0
Am I following the naming requirements properly? The addon file is here for reference.

Expected a class name including _OT_
This should work.
class MAPLUS_OT_changetypebaseclass(bpy.types.Operator):
bl_idname = "maplus.changetypebaseclass"

The wiki page specifically notes: "Valid Examples: OBJECT_OT_fancy_tool", and notes that "This constraint applies to the bl_idname of each class (or the class name which uses it if no bl_idname is defined in the class)". So, is the addons page wrong, or is this just a case of these features not being implemented? It seems very unclear to me based on the language on the wiki...I just want to clearly understand the full requirements for bl_idname and/or class name(s).

Keep in mind 2.8 is very Beta. But I could be wrong, but I'm surprised thats the only error you're getting. I thought all of the class names were to be changed? But I saw that on this programmers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjy-zGG3Wk4
So I don't know if this generates errors or not.
