Hm... thinking about it, UFCS requires passing the instance, while static  
methods do not.  So it doesn't make as much sense as I thought...

I still think static methods should not be callable on instances without  
opt-in from the aggregate author.  The confusion it can cause is not worth  
the benefits IMO.
