Having a "simple" way would be way too C++, since it -is- horribly
breaking object-oriented behaviour. Might as well bring back "virtual".

The unbound method Ruby fu is just right in my opinion, it makes it
instantly clear that the code isn't behaving polymorphically, but uses
the class as a function namespace.
