Metaclass for singleton classes.
A singleton class has only one instance which is returned every time the
class is instantiated. Additionally, this instance can be accessed through
the global registry object S as S.<class_name>.
Examples
========
>>> from sympy import S, Basic
>>> from sympy.core.singleton import Singleton
>>> from sympy.core.compatibility import with_metaclass
>>> class MySingleton(with_metaclass(Singleton, Basic)):
... pass
>>> Basic() is Basic()
False
>>> MySingleton() is MySingleton()
True
>>> S.MySingleton is MySingleton()
True
Notes
=====
Instance creation is delayed until the first time the value is accessed.
(SymPy versions before 1.0 would create the instance during class
creation time, which would be prone to import cycles.)
This metaclass is a subclass of ManagedProperties because that is the
metaclass of many classes that need to be Singletons (Python does not allow
subclasses to have a different metaclass than the superclass, except the
subclass may use a subclassed metaclass).
