[Tutor] digging more into metaclasses

No, there is no direct concept of metaclasses in C++.
You need to ook to languages like Lisp and Smaltalk for those.

The nearest you get to meta-classes in C++ is static members 
and methods. But they don't allow you to alter things like method 
lookup algorithms etc. Very few, if any, statically typed languages 
support meta programming in a full sense.
