[Cuis-dev] class variables

[Andres Valloud]

Another way: lazy initialization (so, with accessors for the class 
variable on the class side).  I would also look into whether you need 
class variables (that act like private globals) or class instance 
variables (which are instance variables of the class object, as their 
name suggests).
