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.
