    A shared pool represents a set of bindings which are accessible to all classes

    which import the pool in its 'pool dictionaries'.

    SharedPool is NOT a dictionary but rather a name space.

    Bindings are represented by 'class variables' - as long as we have no better way to represent

    them at least.
