Depends on what you mean by that. Since I have no clue, I couldn't say. :)

If you mean would updating one object's .ISA property update them all, I'd 
rather we not do that. If you mean do we update all the object's .ISA 
properties when we change the class' default ISA, I'd rather not do that if 
we're instantiating ISA on a per-object basis.

Basically my preference, if we're going with a per-object .ISA with no 
class ISA fallback, is for each object to be independent and not affect any 
other object when its properties are messed with.
