Without a concrete example it's risky to guess, but that sounds more like
class static (in C++ terms) methods to me.  "class methods" in *this* thread
is being used in a Smalltalk sense (because it's Thomas Heller's thread, and
he made clear that he doesn't want C++-style class statics).  And, yes,
without a concrete example, it's risky to guess what that means too <wink>.
