[FLOW3-general] Relation to singleton scope Object

[Benno Weinzierl]

Hi Karsten,

i have different singleton status objects (e.g. new, processing, reviewed,
and so on).
A status "new" for example is derived from abstractStatus.
In the concrete implementation it knows its followup status and can have
some special methods like ->doSomethingThatOnlyANewStatusCan()

But every new-status in the system is the same, thats why singleton.

Regards, Benno
