Ok, some very useful case, actually I've done this in pre-2.0 Python with some
kludges and some magic :)

class MagicDataBaseTable:
	...
	def newRow(klass,**params):
		...
	newRow=classmethod(newRow)
	...

class MyTable(MagicDataBaseTable):
	...

Now the newRow class method knows that it is being called upon MyTable and can be parametrized by
the table and column names of that table.
