Subject: access to private methods from the class level

Hi,

I would like to be able to have something like:
A class with a private method "jim" which can be called on objects of
the class, when self is the class.

i.e. like:

class Kam

  def self.call_private
    kam=Kam.new
    kam.private_method
  end

private

  def private_method
    puts "can't do that"
  end

end

Kam.call_private #exception: called private method

Since this doesn't work, is something like this possible? Or is this
sort of thing supposed to be bad design? It seems natural enough to me.
