ok, I understand. They are used in the same way as any local variable.
right now I don't see any possible not trivial purposes it could be 
useful for me. Maybe something like

class Q
f=File.read("data")
eval f
end

By the way, what if I create

class Q
@x=1
end

to whom does @x belong now?
Does it make sense? (Usually one wants to create with @@ class variables 
at this scope)
