Detailed Description

Metaclass to produce a singleton.

Doing a singleton mixin without a metaclass (via __new__) is
annoying because the user has to name his __init__ something else
(otherwise it's called every time, which undoes any changes).
Using this metaclass, the class's __init__ is called exactly once.

Because this is a metaclass, note that:
* "self" here is the class
* "__init__" is making the class (it's like the body of the
  class definition).
* "__call__" is making an instance of the class (it's like
  "__new__" in the class).
