Otherwise, if the package prefix of the class name matches one of
     * the type prefixes added by an stripPrefix call to the ManagedObjectManager,
     * the ManagedData name is the full class name with the matching prefix removed.
     * 
Otherwise, if the stripPackagePrefix method was called on the
     * ManagedObjectManager, the ManagedData name is the class name without any
     * package prefixes.
