# Behaviour is the old smalltalk name for the superclass of class and singleton_class
#
# Classes and singleton_classes are in fact very similar, in that they manage
# - the type of instances
# - the methods for instances
#
# - the instance methods are source level methods defined on the class
# - the type refers to the instance variables and callable methods of objects
# (in other words the type is a concrete representation, while instance_methods
# is more abstract, ie source level)
#
# The main way they differ is that Classes manage type for a class of objects (ie many)
# whereas singleton_class, or singleton_class manages the type of only one object
# (here a class)
#
# Singleton classes can manage the type/methods of any single object, and in the
# future off course they will, just not yet. Most single objects don't need that,
# only Classes and Modules _always _ do, so that's where we start.
