<P>
A static method is a method that does not depend on an object instance
to run. It should have no need of any data of any particular object,
it should only depend on the data that is passed into it. As such,
unlike instance methods, it does not need to run on an instance of the
class it is associated with. In Babelized C, this means the first
argument to the function is not an object instance. In Java, this
means the function not called on an object, but referenced by the
class name.
