Oh, it wasn't conditional, Ilias. Sterile's meaning is rooted in
infertility.

Quite. But overlay? No, that would suggest a relationship with an
object -- even perhaps in terms of replaceability. Hmm, "Mapped
Abstract Class" is "better", but seems a little terse.

Ah well, I'm sure thoughts will prevail.

I personally still like "shadow class", but I admit part of my like for

From what I remember when learning what the Singleton class really was, the
term "shadow class" would have gone a long way towards helping to clarify
what it was. I like this term, if only for that reason.

yes, but _I_ just provisinally agreed (I need some time to decouple
mentally from the term I've 'created')

but now I'm ready:

agreed.

Yes, the thread looks good.

I'll take now a break for a day or two, and will then look closer to the
collected terms.
