There are languages which can automatically transform between a.foo(b) and foo(a, b) - for example the D language. Does this make 2.weeks.from_now more palatable? And if it does, then why worry about whether the code “goes on the class” or not? During execution it doesn’t really matter where the code lives, and during development open classes are doing basically the same thing as defining functions overloaded on the first argument.
