The IDE creates them 'cos the Delphi language spec does not allow for class
variables, eg:
type TMyClass = class
classvar myClass : TMyClass;
so you can't do the singleton model which Delphi uses for this.
And yes, it has been motioned in the beta news groups for around 5 versions,
and its never been implemented. Java has it (amongst almost all other OO
languages) and its REALLY useful.
