Yet another attribute to "class".

This might (re-)trigger thought about a complete rework of of 
record-enhancing types and allow for the "record" and "object" type 
definitions to be appropriately attributed (e.g. "static") "class"es.

Hence we would attributed to define classes that reside in unmodifyable 
memory (const), static memory (global), heap without ref-counting and 
heap with ref-counting (automatic).
