Okay, I see what you mean now. But you could just as well wrap it in a function that takes self and discards it,

I always thought, that this is exactly what staticmethod does.

so I still don't think staticmethod is essential in the absence of unbound methods.

Actually I don't see why those issues were bound together in the first place.
