/**
    The CIMClass class represents the DMTF standard CIM class definition.

    <p>The CIMClass class uses a shared representation model, such that
    multiple CIMClass objects may refer to the same data copy.  Assignment
    and copy operators create new references to the same data, not distinct
    copies.  An update to a CIMClass object affects all the CIMClass
    objects that refer to the same data copy.  The data remains valid until
    all the CIMClass objects that refer to it are destructed.  A separate
    copy of the data may be created using the clone method.

        is designed specifically for providers to allow them to easily build
        instance objects using the parameters provided with the CIM instance
        operations such as getInstance and enumerateInstances.

        <p><b>Example:</b>
        <pre>
            CIMClass myClass .. a defined and complete CIMClass.

        properties.  The TOINSTANCE flavor is ignored.  Because the CIM
        specification is unclear on the meaning of this parameter and its
        relationship to instance operations, the behavior when this parameter
        is true MAY change in the future based on clarifications of the
        CIM specification.

        @param includeClassOrigin A Boolean indicating whether ClassOrigin
        attributes are to be transferred from the class object to the
        instance.

        @param propertyList A CIMPropertyList defining the properties that
        are to be added to the created instance.  If the propertyList is not
        NULL, properties defined in the class and in this propertyList are
        added to the new instance.  If the propertyList is NULL, all
        properties are added to the instance.  If the propertyList is empty,
        no properties are added.  Note that this function does NOT generate
        an error if a property name is supplied that is NOT in the class;
        it simply does not add that property to the instance.
