Classes and modules

• Meta::ClassDef The class being declared, as a static statement and the static class method it calls see it through self: a Type[T] (the class as a value, with its class methods and the reflection) that will also take the members a static def generates. At run time, in a static def that is not compile-time only, self is the class value itself.
• Meta::Field A field of a class: its name, declared type (type arguments erased), whether it is var, and whether it has a default.
• Meta::MethodSig A method's signature: no body is visible.
• Meta::Param A parameter of a method signature.
• Meta::ParamKind How a parameter is passed.
