Well, it would be worse than that, actually, since singleton classes
are themselves objects, and can have their own singleton classes...

So just having a single object would cascade into an infinite tower of
singleton classes, until you ran out of memory.

However, I think that when you create a class with "def class", it
always creates the singleton class then.
