    Class adds more functionality to classes; minimum stuff has already

    been defined in Behavior and ClassDescription; this adds naming, categories etc.

    Also change management and recompilation is defined here (since the superclasses

    do not have enough symbolic information to support compilation).

    For production code, the stc compiler is planned to (optionally) generate classes 

    as subclasses of Behavior - to excludes all name, source info etc., 

    however, normally all classes are subclasses of Class.

    Instance variables:

	classvars       <String>        the names of the class variables

	comment         <String>        the classes comment; either a string,

					a number specifying the offset in classFilename, or nil

	subclasses      <Collection>    cached collection of subclasses

					(currently unused - but will be soon)

	classFilename   <String>        the file (or nil) where the classes

					sources are found 

	package         <Symbol>        the package, in which the class was defined

					(inserted by compilers)

	revision        <String>        revision string - inserted by stc

	history         <any>           a place for a history string (not currently used)

    Class variables:

	UpdatingChanges <Boolean>       true if the changes-file shall be updated

					(except during startup and when filing in, this flag

					 is usually true)

	LockChangesFile <Boolean>       if true, the change file is locked for updates.

					Required when multiple users operate on a common

					change file.

					This is an experimental new feature, being evaluated.

	UpdateChangeFileQuerySignal     used as an upQuery from the change management.

					Whenever a changeRecord is to be written,

					this signal is raised and a handler (if present)

					is supposed to return true or false.

					If unhandled, the value of the global

					UpdatingChanges is returned for backward

					compatibility (which means that the old

					mechanism is used if no query-handler

					is present).

	FileOutErrorSignal              raised when an error occurs during fileOut

	CatchMethodRedefinitions        if true, classes protect themself 

	MethodRedefinitionSignal        (by raising MethodRedefinitionSignal)

					from redefining any existing methods,

					which are defined in another package.

					(i.e. a signal will be raised, if you

					 fileIn something which redefines an

					 existing method and the packages do not

					 match).

					The default is (currently) true.
