Subject: Shorthand for def class methods?

Instead of this:

class SomeLongClassName
	def SomeLongClassName.method1
		...
	end
	def SomeLongClassName.method2
		...
	end
end

is there some sort of shorthand like this:

class SomeLongClassName
	def @method1
		...
	end
	def @method2
		...
	end
end

I find that sometimes I make some classes whose methods are *all*
class methods (like in procedural programming), so it would be a minor
convenience if I didn't have to repeat the class name each time.
