List,
I've been messing with metaclasses. I thought I understood them until I ran
into this. (See code below.) I was expecting the generated class, 'Foo' to have
an 'x' class-level attribute, as forced upon it by the metaclass 'DracoMeta'
at creation. Unfortunately, it doesn't and I don't know why

Thank you! You've solved my problem
