[IronPython] Static methods that look similar to instance methods?

[Simon Dahlbacka]

I suppose the problem is that the following is valid (and even used) python
code

C:\>python
ActivePython 2.3.2 Build 232 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Nov 13 2003, 10:34:54) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class C(object):
...     def foo(self):
...             print self
...
>>> inst = C()
>>> inst.foo()
<__main__.C object at 0x00944FF0>
>>> C.foo(inst)
<__main__.C object at 0x00944FF0>
>>>

Btw, why do you need both a static and a non-static method with the same
name?
