Argh, so many typos, I should be careful when I rename things...

s/MyClass/Foo/
s/Create/LoadFrom/

Oh how nice it would be if we could simply correct our posts.

That feature is used very often, so newcomers will learn it quickly. And it is
definitely a more obvious transformation than func!Type(...).

P.S. I'm just throwing it out there, but couldn't classes themselves be treated
as objects, a la Objective C? That could open the door to another approach, in
which UFCS applies to class objects.
