Unlike class and instance methods, static methods don't receive an implicit first argument. Nonetheless naming the first argument ``++self++`` or ``++cls++`` guarantees confusion - either on the part of the original author, who may never understand why the arguments don't hold the values he expected, or on that of future maintainers.
