ClassType models a static type definition for an Obj class: 1) Hollow: in this state we know basic identity of the type, and it's inheritance hierarchy. A type is setup to be hollow during Pod.load(). 2) Reflected: in this state we read all the slot definitions from the fcode to populate the slot tables used to for reflection. At this point clients can discover the signatures of the Type. 3) Emitted: the final state of loading a Type is to emit to a .NET class called "Fan.{pod}.{type}". Once emitted we can instantiate the type or call it's methods. 4) Finished: once we have reflected the slots into memory and emitted the .NET class, the last stage is to bind the all the System.Reflection representations to the Slots for dynamic dispatch. We delay this until needed by Method or Field for a reflection invocation
