Which concept is that?  "class method" means entirely different things to
Smalltalk and C++ programmers, for example.  2.2 supports both meanings more
naturally than in 2.1.  If you're familiar with only one of the meanings,
here's your chance to learn just how "straightforward" a concept the other
one really is <wink>.
