To which class should `sorted()` belong to then? Or the functions in the
`math` module? What about `itertools`?
In languages without functions, like Java, you'll have to write static
methods where you really want functions, just because Java forces you to
stuff everything into classes.
And instead of a simple ``lambda`` function one needs to write an
anonymous class with a method. Quite convoluted.
