Subject: Re: strange behavior

Looks like I have to yield since matz is doing this way.
Now back to the starting question of making class method accessible
in instance without having to use qualifier. Would it be possible to
do this way by first looking up for instance method and if not,
look up for the class method. This could avoid name conflict.
What would be pitfall for this?

Thanks
