6.3 Static Methods ================== Static methods do not depend on an object instance, but instead operate on a class. You can create a static method by using the ‘:static’ key with ‘defmethod’. The first argument of a ‘:static’ method will be a class rather than an object. Use the functions ‘oref-default’ or ‘oset-default’ which will work on a class. A class’s ‘make-instance’ method is defined as a ‘:static’ method. Note: The ‘:static’ keyword is unique to EIEIO.
