Heh heh :)

I actually do care, because (not having a Java/C++ background) I actually 
do get a mental "double-take" every time I read about "class variables". 
It takes a real effort of will to remind myself that they're probably not 
talking about something like this:

for theclass in (int, float, Decimal, Fraction):
    do_something_with(theclass)

Technically you don't have to cut *all* the nitpicking, cutting 87.3% of 
it is sufficient.
