Now methods and static members would be first-class citizens of scalar types and their values. For example, the following could be done:

||||
let y = u8::to_bits(1u8); // A static method on the scalar type

```
|

|

It also allows for static constants for circuits in general:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
circuit Point {
|
||||
static SLOPE: u32 = 3;
|
||||
x: u32;
|
||||
y: u32;
|
||||
|
||||
function new(x: u32, y: u32) -> Self {
|
||||
return Self {
|
||||
x,
|
||||
y: y + Self::SLOPE
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Drawbacks
|
||||
|
||||
This change adds more complexity to the language.
