/**
 * Classify.js
 * A simple implementation of a Class native in Javascript with support for private and public methods and properties.
 * Inspired by MooTools Class.js and by the Module Javascript design pattern (for private and public methods and properties)
 * 
 * Zohar Arad. February 2011
 * 
 * Usage:
 * 
 * var MyClass = new Class({
 *   init:function(){
 *      console.log('Initializing class instance');
 *   },
 *   _name:'Zohar Arad',
 *   speak:function(){
 *      console.log(this._name); //outputs the value of private property this._name
 *   }
 * });
 * 
 * var c = new MyClass();
 * c.speak(); //will output 'Zohar Arad'
 * console.log(c._name); //will outout nothing....
