I don't think it's worth adding an new metaclass just to save, what, 7 bytes per entry?

However, if we decide to add one anyway, be sure to add a "setElement"
method  (or something), as in:

setKnownBy(actor, val)
{
    actor.knowledgeTable.setElement(self, val);
}

instead of forcing a

setKnownBy(actor, val)
{
    if (val) actor.knowledgeTable.addElement(self);
    else actor.knowledgeTable.removeElement(self);
}
