    Initializes this ACClass object with some Class

    Note that an ACClass object when used to define pointcuts will apply only to that method
    In Objective-C class methods and instance methods are actually stored in two seperate classes
    By default, a class and it's meta class have the same name.

    So, an ACClass object created from [NSObject class] won't include class methods, such as alloc
    such methods are accessable only via [NSObject class]->isa
    
    [[ACClass alloc] initWithClass: [NSObject class]];
    [[ACClass alloc] initWithClass: [NSObject class]->isa];
