documentation

    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. This is done to make stc happy (or at least, to not be forced to adapt it
    to any new semantics).
