With the advent of UFCS, this argument has much less teeth.
Maybe it should be revisited...

Elaborate please how UFCS would help in that context.
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.
I agree it is ugly. If there is a way out (reason why i asked),
we should just dump it.
