It never occurred to me that it would ever be the case! I've always thought classes were singleton and that SomeClass copy would always return the sole instance of that class! I wonder what are the implications of returning a copy, say, when you add an instVar to the "original" class ? What happens to the reshaping of the instances created by the copy?
