I am not claiming that the solution is poorly docuemnted or that it
is not cleverly coded.  My position is that it is misleading.
Doing a dir() on World will show 4 attributes:  mistype, qua, lin
and sqr.  That does not coorespond to the actual data model, either
internally or from the user's perspective.

The fundamental fact here is that qua, lin and sqa are not attributes.
They are names for the values an attribute can take.
