---@class Object

---Does nothing.
---You have to implement this yourself for extra functionality when initializing
---@param self Object

---Create a new class/object by extending the base Object class.
---The extended object will have a field called `super` that will access the super class.
---@param self Object
---@return Object

---Implement a mixin onto this Object.

---Checks if the object is an instance
---This will start with the lowest class and loop over all the superclasses.

---The default tostring implementation for an object.
---You can override this to provide a different tostring.

---@return string

---You can call the class the initialize it without using `Object:new`.
