Classes

All code in Cool is organized into classes. Each class definition must be contained in a single source file, but multiple classes may be defined in the same file. Class definitions have the form:

class <type> [ inherits <type> ] {
    <feature_list>
};

The notation [ ...] denotes an optional construct. All class names are globally visible. Class names begin with an uppercase letter. Classes may not be redefined.
