Class variables are not common, but they are the most natural way to implement
class-specific functionality. Off the top of my head, I have used class
variables for:
1) Custom allocation schemes, e.g. pools, LRU implementations
2) Diagnostics, e.g. counting the number of instances of a given cla
I don't follow. What's a singleton/how? If you mean my example, the whole

+version, but I'm not sure anymore where I'd use this...
BTW you don't need to stringify, use ObjectIdentifier (part of stdlib).
