Question: should it?  Technically, an object is allowed to refer to static
methods as if they were part of themselves.  Using "this" to refer to a
static method is just as legal in Java as not using "this," right?  I guess
trying ClassName.assertXXX or TestCase.assertXXX would be just as useful,
but who wants to remember that?  :-)

I know that in JBuilder (and most other commercial IDEs I've experienced)
static methods show up in references to objects of the specified type during
the little popup convenience..

-S.
