# Polymorphic class system built on top of core Jam facilities.
#
# Classes are defined by 'class' keywords::
#
#     class myclass
#     {
#         rule __init__ ( arg1 )     # constructor
#         {
#             self.attribute = $(arg1) ;
#         }
#
#         rule method1 ( )           # method
#         {
#             return [ method2 ] ;
#         }
#
#         rule method2 ( )           # method
#         {
#             return $(self.attribute) ;
#         }
#     }
#
# The __init__ rule is the constructor, and sets member variables.
#
# New instances are created by invoking [ new <class> <args...> ]:
#
#     local x = [ new myclass foo ] ;        # x is a new myclass object
#     assert.result foo : [ $(x).method1 ] ; # $(x).method1 returns "foo"
#
# Derived class are created by mentioning base classes in the declaration::
#
#     class derived : myclass
#     {
#          rule __init__ ( arg )
#          {
#              myclass.__init__ $(arg) ;  # call base __init__
#
#          }
#
#          rule method2 ( )           # method override
#          {
#              return $(self.attribute)XXX ;
#          }
#     }
#
# All methods operate virtually, replacing behavior in the base classes. For
# example::
#
#     local y = [ new derived foo ] ;            # y is a new derived object
#     assert.result fooXXX : [ $(y).method1 ] ;  # $(y).method1 returns "foo"
#
# Each class instance is its own core Jam module. All instance attributes and
# methods are accessible without additional qualification from within the class
# instance. All rules imported in class declaration, or visible in base classses
# are also visible. Base methods are available in qualified form:
# base-name.method-name. By convention, attribute names are prefixed with
# "self.".
