Yes. This is probably the sanest solution anyway, because probably
having many such functions to use, packing them into smth like

test-drive such solutions, not that I would be keen to use them
excessively in production code.

Ahh now I get it. Thanks! So that's the use for @staticmethod (I was
wondering if there was any).
