Non-static class methods *do* have a Self parameter, but it's the class
type and not the class instance. They can also be virtual, which is a
really great feature of the Object Pascal language (I often miss that at
work where I use C++). They are also assignment compatible to method
variables ("of object").
Static methods on the other hand don't have a Self parameter, can't be
virtual and are assignment compatible to normal procedure variables.
