getMetaClass()
Adds a "metaClass" property to all class objects so you can use the syntax String.metaClass.myMethod = { println "foo" }

isCase(Object switchValue)
Special 'Case' implementation for Class, which allows testing for a certain class in a switch statement. |

Special 'Case' implementation for Class, which allows testing for a certain class in a switch statement. For example:
switch( obj ) {
case List :
// obj is a list
break;
case Set :
// etc

switchValue - the switch valueSets/updates the metaclass for a given class to a closure.
closure - the closure representing the new metaclassExtend class globally with category methods.
categoryClass - a category class to useExtend class globally with category methods.
categoryClass - a category class to useExtend class globally with category methods. All methods for given class and all super classes will be added to the class.
categoryClasses - a category classes to useConvenience method to dynamically create a new instance of this class. Calls the default constructor.
Helper to construct a new instance from the given arguments.
The constructor is called based on the number and types in the
args array. Use newInstance(null) or simply
newInstance() for the default (no-arg) constructor.
