I am almost sure. The model will be changed, after we settled "the
term".
There's a dead-lock:
You cannot settle on a (concise) term, when you don't know the
model-changes.
Ok, I extract the (almost sure) planned changes:
a) method to retrieve "<x> class", Object#<x>_class
b) objects become instances of their "<x> class"
(horizontal arrows in "ri Class": "instance-of" relations")
<x> currently: singelton
