Superclass of a class’s metaclass

A co-worker of mine found this hilarious quote by Caleb Drake:
“…the superclass of a class’s metaclass must be the metaclass of the class’s superclass.” - Caleb Drake, Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Smalltalk (475), 1998 by PRENTICE HALL, Inc.

Hardcoded Class Names

try generating it (e.g. String clz = ReportFactory.class.getName();) - it’s a lot less brittle!
