Torsten Rüger d901c6f27c rename meta to singleton class
seems more appropriate, as it is the class for a single object
Also seems to be called that on the net (don't remember where the meta came from, but it's gone)

# Class is mainly a list of methods with a name.
# The methods are untyped, sis VoolMethod.
# 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.
# For dynamic OO it is essential that the class (the object defining the class)
# can carry methods. It does so in an instance variable methods.
# 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 (vool) code
# Each type in turn has a list of CallableMethods that hold binary code
