Experience suggests that newbies don't find this confusing, or at
least not more than momentarily.

I'm -0 on this at the moment.  Maybe -0.5.  I don't really like the
potential for hideousness like

   @staticmethod
   def spam.alot(isa, silly, place):
     return silly + spam

that's implied by making this a general feature of methods.
