# Class is mainly a list of methods with a name (for now)
# The memory layout of object is seperated into Layout
# A class describes the capabilities of a group of objects, ie what data it has
# and functions it responds to.
#
# 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 Layout, as methods
# may be added to any object at run-time
# 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
