Ah.
Re-reading what I just wrote, I think I've found where I went astray. Given
the chain from meta-class to instance MMC -> MC -> C -> c, I have been
thinking of the intermediate classes MC and C as being implicit in the
definition of MMC, rather than as independently defined classes.
I can see how defining them, and specifiying their meta-classes, would solve
the binding and naming problems. You could even have multiple meta-classes
just as you have multiple inheritance. All you need now is a way to spell
static methods.
Thanks for helping me work that out.
