Objects can already have properties, and methods as well. They can't  
have _inherited_ methods -- at least not in the traditional OO sense.  
An object inherits methods from its enclosing groups/card/stack.

And indeed, as I incautiously said in another email a moment ago, I  
think I could implement something very like class methods using a  
frontscript.
