Singleton

This module defines a "super singleton" class that verifies only once instance
is actually created.  It allows the class designating itself as a singleton to
be inherited, still retains its singletoness, but makes sure that derived classes
aren't created first.

Test classes A -> B -> C where A is a singleton.  B can be created before A, and
calls for A will return the instance of B.  But if B is created, C cannot be created,
since a new C would imply a new instance of B.
