 p.s. A few people have pointed out that if you want a subset of classes to share functionality, alternatives such as mixing in traits are superior to subclassing `Class`. This is an **excellent** observation, and it's the kind of thinking this post is trying to provoke: If you start thinking of metaobjects (call them classes if you like) as first-class objects, you start thinking of programming them using the tools and techniques you find most appropriate for programming domain objects.
