Category:

Owner:

Class

Description:

Instances hold additional attributes of a class.
Currently, these are primitive definitions and sharedPools information.
As these are seldom needed, they are only present as object in some classes
thus saving us from mostly empty additional slots in the class object itself for most classes

Instance protocol:

 fGuid

 fGuid: something

 localSelectors

 localSelectors: something

 primitiveDefinitions

 primitiveDefinitions: something

 primitiveFunctions

 primitiveFunctions: something

 primitiveVariables

 primitiveVariables: something

 projectDirectory

 projectDirectory: something

 sharedPools

 sharedPools: something

 traitComposition

 traitComposition: something

 vGuid

 vGuid: something

 valueFor: aKey

 fromSTCPrimitiveArray: anArray

for now, the stc compiler generates a 3- or 4-element primitive spec array
(it does not know anything about the ClassAttributes class).
This method is invoked to convert.
