I didn't think it was necessarily desirable to create a 2GC for a single 2GO, but I suppose it's necessary to do that in order to have the class still exist when the object ceases to...Okay, but that's a fix to the rule rather than this object.

Unnecessary to distinguish values that can be altered from methods that can't be?  Properties are local to what you call the instance; methods are part of the class.

You're complaining that the OO rule isn't a 2GO?  We have something of a chicken-and-egg question here.  It's my opinion that the rule has to exist under the current system before it can be transformed into an object under the new system.

What do you suggest, then, as the name of the class that all other classes inherit from?
