Well that makes it less dangerous and it's good to know, cheers. No less ugly though, I just don't like it. I'd prefer a public interface, and instantiation hidden behind a locator or injection of some sort. IMO anything (in your API) that's static and not a "proper" Function (ie no side-effects) should be seriously thought over.
