Okay, here's try three. I think I'm about ready to POD this up as a formal spec to be assaulted, but this version is more a sketch than anything:

Am I reading it right if I reckon that a Class isa Object? and an Object hasa Class (assuming that the object is, um, Classy)?
Pretty much, yeah. I'm not sure if Classes will be objects as such, rather than just another Special PMC Thing (like scalars, hashes, arrays) but they'll be pretty darned close to objects if they aren't.
For various, nefarious reasons I'd like to be able to manipulate classes as objects at a language level, even if they aren't objects down at the Parrot level, but I'll wait for Apo 12 for that one.
I think Larry's planning on that, which is fine, and I'd as soon allow it in at least some form, because it seems really useful, if a bit evil.
