+# A class describes the capabilities of an object, ie what data it has
+# and functions it responds to
+#
+# An Object carries the data for the instance variables it has
+# The Layout lists the names of the instance variables
+# The class keeps a list of instance methods, these have a name and code
+# The class also keeps a list of class methods (with names+code)
+# Class methods are instance methods on the class object
+
+# So it is essential that the class (the object defining the class)
+# can carry methods. It does so as instance variables.
+# In fact this property is implemented in the Object, as methods
+# may be added to any object at run-time
