      You just quoted my answer, so I don't see why you're asking again.

      The class pool for an instance of Metaclass should be the class 
pool defined by Metaclass. So, for example, the class pool for (Array 
class) should be the class pool defined by Metaclass. This is different 
than the class pool for Array or an instance of Array, which is the 
class pool defined by Array.

      Again, until someone cites a reason why this is of practical 
significance, I don't think it's a very interesting issue.
