Hi herman

I really do not like this idea. I could believe that names are a good 
metaphor for teaching to kids but what you propose is really ugly.

I can live with the argument of richard about lifetime because this is 
right. What I do not
like with classVariable is that it does not express that variables are 
shared between a class and
its instances. (for the global and the poolDictionaries I never used 
and only teach them for backward
compatibilities). I just like the way VW does it now.
