Hi Folks,

Thanks a lot for all of the excellent messages to my question regarding
the nature of a class being used as both an instance and as a class
(i.e., a metaclass).  I believe that I now have a firm understanding.

I have created a few slides that summarizes the discussion:

Please let me know if I have made any mistakes.  [Credits to Frank
Manola for the example in the slides.]  /Roger
