# A class describes the capabilities of a group of objects, ie what data it has
# and functions it responds to.
# Class is mainly a list of methods with a name. (Note that methods may have many functions)
# The memory layout of an object is determined by the Type (see there).
# The class carries the "current" type, ie the type an object would be if you created an instance
# of the class. Note that this changes over time and so many types share the same class.
# 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 Type, as methods
# may be added to any object at run-time
# An Object carries the data for the instance variables it has
# The Type lists the names of the instance variables
# The class keeps a list of instance methods, these have a name and code
