+# In many respects a MetaClass is like a Class. We haven't gone to the full ruby/oo level
+# yet, where the metaclass is actually a class instance, but someday.
+
+# A Class in general can be viewed as a way to generate methods for a group of objects.
+
+# A MetaClass serves the same function, but just for one object, the class object that
+# is the meta_class of.
+# This is slightnly different in the way that the type of the class must actually
+# change, whereas for a class the instance type changes and only objects generated
+# henceafter have a different type.
+
+# This is still a first version, this change is not implemeted, also classes at boot don't
+# have metaclasses yet, so still a bit TODO
+
+# Another current difference is that a metaclass has no superclass. Also no name.
+# There is a one to one relationship between a class instance and it's meta_class instance.
