Define Classes

`addlistener`	Attaches a callback to an event or property change of a handle object.
`enumeration`	Lists the members of an enumeration class.
`eq`	Equality test, the function form of the `==` operator.
`event.hasListener`	Tests whether an event of an object has listeners.
`events`	Lists the events defined by a class.
`import`	Adds a package or class name to the import list so it can be used with a short name.
`ismethod`	Tests whether an object has a method of a given name.
`isprop`	Tests whether an object has a property of a given name.
`listener`	Creates an event listener without attaching it to the life of the source object.
`methods`	Lists the methods of a class or object.
`notify`	Triggers an event of a handle object and runs the listeners attached to it.
`properties`	Lists the public properties of a class or object.
`superclasses`	Lists the superclasses of a class, from the nearest to the farthest.

Class Customization

`builtin`	Calls the built-in version of a function, ignoring any overriding file.
`numArgumentsFromSubscript`	Method a class can overload to say how many outputs an indexing expression returns.
`subsasgn`	Assignment through an index structure, the function behind `A(i) = v`, `A.f = v` and `A{i} = v`.
`subsindex`	Method a class overloads so that its objects can be used as array indices.
`subsref`	Reads through an index structure, the function behind `A(i)`, `A.f` and `A{i}`.
`substruct`	Builds the index structure expected by `subsref` and `subsasgn`.

System Objects

`clone`	Creates an independent copy of a System object.
`isDone`	Tests whether a System object has finished producing data.
`isLocked`	Tests whether a System object, or a function, is locked.
`release`	Releases the resources of a System object and unlocks it.
`setup`	Prepares a System object for execution, locking it, before the first call to step.
`step`	Runs one processing step of a System object.

Construct and Work with Object Arrays

empty Creates an empty array of a given class.

Class Introspection and Metadata

`meta.class.fromName`	Returns the meta.class object that describes a class, given its name.
`metaclass`	Returns the meta.class object that describes the class of an object.
