+class ``Foo`` has class-level storage vars ``bos_class__Foo__$thing``
+
+* ``bos_class__${class}__isa``
+* ``bos_class__${class}__meta``
+
+``invoke $class $id $method @etc`` if ``$class/$method`` is defined,
+call it; otherwise delegate to the meta-class
+``bos_class__${class}__meta`` by calling ``$metaclass/invoke $class
+$id $method @etc``
+
+then we have ``bos/mop/base/invoke`` and
+``bos/mop/base/find-method-into`` and
+``bos_class__bos__mop__base__meta="bos-dispatch/invoke bos/mop/base 0"``
+so its metaclass instance is an instance of itself
