Description
[This might be a duplicate of #7, in that it's wrong 99.9% of the time so maybe we say "that's close enough" and make anyone with a legitimate use have to use noqa once that works. In fact that'd probably be what I'd lean towards, but filing this in case it's worth discussing]
There's, I've realized, one legitimate use for @staticmethod --
If you have a module with a (normal, non-descriptor) object, and you want to replace that object with a normal function instead, the function you use likely always, but at least sometimes, should be @staticmethoded if you think that the previous object might have been being used as a class attribute by end-user code.
If you don't, when you change to a function, end-user code will break as their object suddenly becomes a descriptor and has its calling arguments changed.
