Indeed. You actually *have* a global variable already, you've
just hidden it inside another object. That doesn't make it any
less global, though.

If you want to defer creation of the object until the first
time it's used, use a function that creates an instance the
first time it's called. Your Singleton class is really just
an overly elaborate way of implementing such a function.
