Eclipse - access by method name requires a receiver

[Roedy Green]

I agree that it's irritating... but I'm confused about something. Pat,
Chris, and Jamie are all fairly common female names.

Mothers give their daughters these names in hopes will help them
avoid discrimination. If you chose such names in a novel, it would be
because you wanted to deliberately confuse the reader as to genders.

In programming, you want to choose names that are maximally clear and
unambiguous.

When I hear someone referred to as "Jamie", I would be shocked to find
that they are male. Obviously, I feel differently about "Chris".

I am a big Jamie Lee Curtis fan. Perhaps they should retire names,
just like hockey jersey numbers.
