"Class methods" in Smalltalk are regular methods, because classes are  
regular objects. Unfortunately the browser gives the impression that  
there are two kinds of methods ...

        MyClass new

simply sends #new to the object MyClass. This is how you invoke a  
"class method".

Remember, anything in Smalltalk is an object. Even classes. There is  
not even a "syntax" to define a class or a method (just like there is  
no syntax for control structures). Everything is accomplished by  
sending messages.
