PROPOSAL: Static Methods in Interfaces (v1.1)

[Reinier Zwitserloot]

Why do you feel waiting is a better idea?

Unless you have some sort of language improvement in mind which is  
going to become impossible if SMI is added, I'd argue the reverse:  
Bigger changes should be introduced in bits and pieces if each piece  
is individually useful.
