	"klass" is a common convention in OOP code when referring to classes, because "class" and "Class" are often reserved already.

Python typically goes with `cls`, particularly in conjunction with the `@classmethod` decorator.

Python code uses both.

Um, not really. PEP8 explicitly says to use `cls`:

Java seems to prefer `clazz`.

"klass" seems to somewhat outnumber "clazz" in OpenJDK, 1541 to 1021. Wonder if there's a reason they haven't settled on one.

C# prefers `@class`
