It will stay as is.
It is somewhat vaguely described in p.7 under UFCS section in 
functions

I see, thanks


If it's really important you can make a module-level alias to the 
static method.

[Jack via Digitalmars-d-learn]

works fine (this is defined at global scope, g and baa are same 
as static)


int f(HWND hwnd, int n)
{
return n*10;
}


void baa()
{
HWND foo;
writeln(foo.f(10));
}


but if I wrap this within a class:

class Foo
{
static int f(HWND hwnd, int n)
{
return n*10;
}


static void baa()
{
HWND foo;
writeln(foo.f(10));
}
}

I get the error:
