No, the word "singleton" here just means you get an automatic instance of
your class, i.e. you can use the class name as if it were an object. You
do *not* get a unique instance. You have to use the CREATE PRIVATE keyword
for non-instantiable classes.

Nothing extraordinary happens. You have a dynamic class with a static
variable and you can use the class like an object (as well as create new
objects of that class).
