I strongly believe that :shared is a better name than :class.
As a Smalltalk teacher i have big troubles with the Smalltalk
non-symmetry between class/instance methods and class/instance
variables. My (Smalltalk) point of view is that class variables
should refer the instance variables of a class treated as an object.
What should the other one be called. Would you prefer shared/instance?
