Hmm, interesting!   

I presume this works for all declarations: class var, class def, and class type?
These are in scope for "instances" because instances are lexically nested inside their classes.

(Technically, "class vars" will be class instance variables (one per subclass)
not true class variables (one shared by the class and all its subclasses)


could you paste this into the wiki as well?

thanks
