I'm curious. My Smalltalk is maybe rusty but I remember about Metaclass. A side of the class definition where a variable is a class variable shared by every instance and where a method is a class method shared also by every instance. This looks like class-wide variable/method applied to some kind of class-wide type (the metaclass). Now, as I said my Smalltalk is rusty and I may have misremembered something.
