class variable and not to instance/object variables.  They also provide a way to initialize the class variables.  This TIP seeks to add them into TclOO.

# Proposal

The proposal is to add some or all of the functionality of `oo::util`, in particular the `classvariable` and `classmethod`.
Additionally, it is proposed to add an `initialise` class definition command to all the initialization of class variables.










## New Metaclasses

The `oo::singleton` metaclass only allows a single instance of the class that
it is mixed into to exist at a time. It hides the `create` method on the class and
implements a cache so that the `new` method will only create an instance of
the class if there is not an existing instance. Subclasses of the singleton
class are _not_ restricted.

Additionally, it is proposed to add an `initialise` class definition command to all the initialization of class variables.

## New Basic Features

The `myclass` command (created in each object's namespace) allows any method
(exported or unexported) of the current class of the owning object to be
invoked. It is like using `info object class` to look up the class of the
current object, `info object namespace` to find the namespace of the class,
then using the `my` command in that namespace (assuming that it hasn't been
renamed). This is implemented in C so it is fast, effective, and robust.

The `oo::singleton` metaclass only allows a single instance of the class that
it is mixed into to exist at a time. It hides the `create` method on the class and
implements a cache so that the `new` method will only create an instance of
