Description:

A shared pool represents a set of bindings which are accessible to all classes
which import the pool in its 'pool dictionaries'.
SharedPool is NOT a dictionary but rather a name space.
Bindings are represented by 'class variables' - as long as we have no better way to represent
them at least. This is done to make stc happy (or at least, to not be forced to adapt it
to any new semantics).

Class protocol:

 declareConstant: constantName value: value

 at: name

retrieve a pool variable by name

 at: name ifAbsent: aBlock

retrieve a pool variable by name

 bindingOf: varName

Answer the binding of some variable resolved in the scope of the receiver

 bindingsDo: aBlock

 classBindingOf: varName

For initialization messages grant the regular scope

 includesKey: aSymbol

 keys

 keysDo: aBlock

 displayString

return a printed represenation - here, a reminder is appended,
that this is not a regular class

 isSharedPool
