That is obviously your call to make. Personally I sort of prefer
Tom's solution (it is David's second choice if I remember
correctly).  
However if we would go that route I definitely would throw
out singleton class localness (that puts me somewhere 
between Tom and David:-) since having to write (non singleton)
accessors to manipulate instance variables defined in the
(non singleton) super-class (or in the case of special case of
meta classes the "meta super class") is fairly unappealing to
me.
