    There are perfectly good arguments for metadata at front and metadata
    at the end and none of the arguments is definitive.

    In GEOM it is a private matter for the classes in question, and as
    long as they handle it properly, I have no issues with any placement
    of metadata.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
