If a class' methods don't use self, it probably shouldn't be a class.

I have often wished Python had proper namespaces, so I didn't have to 
abuse classes as containers in this way :-(

(Not that I do this using "inner classes", but I do often want to use a 
class as a container for functions, without caring about "self" or 
wrapping everything in staticmethod.)
