We're refering to a very recent thread that discussed what to call these type of methods. Presently they are known a "singleton methods", but becuase of the clash with what is known in OOP generally as the *singleton pattern*, there is on-going discussion on finding a better term. Recent alternative suggestions are "eigen" and "adhoc". T.
