Yes, these all make sense to me.
Bar.isa(Object); # true
Bar.isa(Class); # true
Bar.isa(Foo); # ? (my guess: false)

I am not sure about this. I think that .isa as a class method should
behave much as it does for an instance method. If we start supporting
things like Bar.isa(Class) then we start exposing the soft underbelly
of the meta-model to the outside world. Which IMO might not be a good
idea.
