I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. Is the following in any way 
related:

  ruby-core:01787
  http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/1787

The short of it:

  class X
    a = 1
    def a
      @a  # => 1
    end
  end

Or is that class local variable? Cause I'm not understand how @@a "will behave 
like today's class instance variables without the need of  ``class attribute 
accessors''."

Can you elaborate more?
