static members or alternative

[degory]

Have bodged static members for now, but leaning towards disallowing static members completely and relying on functions/properties etc. defined at namespace scope instead, combined with generic functions where needed. Doing this might reduce the need to recognize/disambiguate type expressions as primaries within value expressions.

namespace Util
    class SORT[T] is ... si

    sort[T](seq: Sequence[T]) is
        return new SORT[T](seq).sort();
    si
si

Util.Sort(["a", "b", "c"])

This might be difficult to disambiguate from a named indexer definition, but could just drop support for those.

Think the preferred option is a combination of traits, generic global functions and type inference.
