Double instantiated?@@var is a class variable. It''s got a somewhat odd visibility pattern: it''s visible to the class it''s defined in, all subclasses of that class, and all instances of the above. It''s a quick-''n''-easy way to store data that both a class and its instances can see, but it''s got a kind of quasi-global (or hierarchy-global) quality to it that makes it a bit error-prone.
