I personally find the prefix to be consistent and safer.
class methods may mutate "mutable static variables” (singletons), which are
dangerous in multi-threaded code. For me, having the class prefix is a reminder
and therefore requires additional synchronisation if it is to be invoked safely
from multiple threads.
