thank you for your replies. But I'm afraid that I need some more
explanation. Isn't a singleton method a method that applies to the
singleton class of one object? And in this case we're talking about a
class, not an object?

As such, Forwardable is mixed in, is my first thought. What have I
understood wrongly?
