"klass" is a common convention in OOP code when referring to classes, because "class" and "Class" are often reserved already.

Python typically goes with `cls`, particularly in conjunction with the `@classmethod` decorator.

"klass" seems to somewhat outnumber "clazz" in OpenJDK, 1541 to 1021. Wonder if there's a reason they haven't settled on one.
