Another comment: --- But it can contain metafacades, depending on the implementation class (take a look at the UMLMetafacadeModel, some of the methods do return metafacade instances). Its the model used by "metafacades". Each metafacade sub module has its own implementation of the MetafacadeModel. I think it describes exactly what it used for. > > ---- I was thinking the only thing its used for is metafacades.
