ClassDetermines whether an object specified by this class is active or not.
If true, then the owning class is referred to as an active class. If false,
then such a class is referred to as a passive class.

isLeaf : Boolean (1 1); -- source
RedefinableElementIndicates whether it is possible to further redefine a RedefinableElement.
If the value is true, then it is not possible to further redefine the RedefinableElement.
Note that this property is preserved through package merge operations;
that is, the capability to redefine a RedefinableElement (i.e., isLeaf=false)
must be preserved in the resulting RedefinableElement of a package merge
operation where a RedefinableElement with isLeaf=false is merged with a
matching RedefinableElement with isLeaf=true: the resulting RedefinableElement
will have isLeaf=false. Default value is false.
Default value: FALSE
