Probably we are inventing terms.

I read a slideshow uploaded by Andrei which introduced "black holes"
and "white holes" as models of auto-implemented classes. I borrowed the
idea from there, so I'm following the original terminology.

Indeed, the terms are a bit too astronomy. And there should be more
descriptions in the doc if these terms are used. But I'm not sure how to
describe this... The mentioned slodeshow file seems already deleted,
and I have no local copy.
