Wow, class methods finally get the tick of approval!  Only 30+ years after 
being specified in the Smalltalk standard..


Forget about singletons: they are just a workaround for not having class 
methods/variables.


Each class is a single object that exists for the life of the application 
therefore it is, by definition a singleton - and you get it for free!


You don’t need to keep and manage variables pointing to the class because you 
already have it when you send a message to a class method.
