Subject: Re: Dumb question: in documentation, why Object#method, and not Object.method ?

Notice that "Object" in "Object#method" is capitalized. We're talking
about a class here not an instance. So if you were to say Object.method
you'd be refering to an instance method of the class itself --generally
called a _class method_, as opposed to an instance method defined by
the class. It's tricky because its relative --a class is itself an
instance of Class.
