It can have methods added to ^^^^^^^^^^ Is there any chance of stemming the tide of nicknames and coined synonyms for singleton classes? Or may I at least put in a plea for flagging them as nicknames and coinages? I know there's a kind of ongoing discussion about what the best eventual official name might be, if "singleton class" is ever replaced, but I think that having a lot of unofficial/unflagged names in circulation is potentially very confusing and therefore probably not an ideal interim measure.
