I think one of the reasons why C# avoids talking about "class" methods is 
because they don't have the concept of a class, as a class of its own, they use 
System.Type instead, using reflection and lightweight code generation to 
"emulate" virtual class methods.

I must admit, virtual constructors and class methods, available in Delphi, were 
something I missed in C#, and am glad to be back in more friendly territory.
