I'd prefer (and I don't remember what the issue about this was):

	def messageLength(self) as objc.accessor:
		return "XIV"

	def saveSheetDidDismiss_returnCode_contextInfo_(self, sheet, 
returnCode, contextInfo) as objc.signature("v@:@i"):
		pass

or 

	def foo () as staticmethod:

I'm also happy with the

	def staticmethod foo():

proposal, but the point about breaking etags seems reasonable to me.
Maybe when the PEP captures the dscussion we can all read it and come
to a consensus, because we'll all understand what's wrong with the
non-pie proposals.
