Yes I know. I just wanted to encourage people to think
of simpler alternatives but to spoil the language
for tiny improvements.
I didn't just want to say "this is ugly", but to think of
ways to express "the following is meant to be a... method".

Onw thing I could live with if I must is "class method",
since it is similar to other languages.
