5406 :: How to write a shared(static in c++) proc in a type ?

  Hi all, I would like to know, how you people write static functions inside a class. By static, i mean a common proc for all instances.

  type Cat = object
  proc purr(this: Cat) = echo "Purr"
  Cat().purr()
  Run

  purr() is glued to the Cat, statically, for all Cats.

  Cat().purr()

  Cat() does allocate an anonymous object for each call -- at least it did in the past.

  You may also consider type or typedesc as first parameter, see as an example

  https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5331

  So we can call a proc on a type like

  
  let dobby = User.create_admin()
  Run
