The way I understand it, the main characteristic shared by
all mammals is the presence of mammary glands in females.

To wrest this back on topic, sometimes a definition
can be improved without making it any more complicated.

In the case of methods, perhaps instead of "defined inside
a class body" it could say "bound to a name in a class
namespace". That's what really matters, not how it came to
be there.
