Syntax is not the point, please hold fire and spare the bikeshed --
the unencapsulated (no |this| or |self|) nature of these functions

If the reason is to assign responsibility to the different
constructors [*]
I don't understand the "assign responsibility" argument. Is this
about aligning (conflating?) security/access-control with classes/
instances?
Isn't a generic function a class that you could assign responsibility
to?
