Travis, Could you explain what a possible downside of this would be !? It seems that if you don't need to refer to a specific "self" object that a class-method is what it should - is this not always right !?
I don't understand the last point. Classmethods would get inherited by sub-classes by default, as far as I know. I can't think of any downsides. I have to understand how class-methods are actually implemented, though before I could comment on speed implications of class methods. -Travis
