Any other alternative? For every class I do create additional class called MetaXXX where XXX is the name of the original class. In the MetaXXX I do decla­ re all variables and methods which I would make static in other language such as C++ or Java. Then I do create one and only one object of class MetaXXX (called metaXXX for convenience) which is available in global scope. Hope this will help you.
