If I head written #new as an instance method, for example, I think
Stefan (or somebody else for him) could have spotted the problem
with this syntax.  I find instead very confusing to remember which
of +/- is a class and which is an instance method.

Also, UML has hijacked +/- for public/private respectively, which
can only add to the confusion.
