I think it will be anti-climactic. Based on our ability to detect larger bodies first, they will likely be super-Jovian planets (almost stars) orbiting each other at several AU, with no intermediate star. Basically, a failed two-star system.
Everyone needs to remember that classification schemes are devised by men to help men simplify and understand a complex universe. We will always find exceptions and eventually be forced to reclassify.
