 Replying to [comment:1 iwakeh]:
 > I think the entire structure needs some improvement.

 Agreed.

 > This small change is useful to mark methods that don't rely on instance
 variables/methods as 'static'.
 > Anyway, `parseDescriptors` used to be static before and that was just
 changed (I missed the reason).

 Ah, heh, mainly because I thought it was an oversight that it was static
 before.  Happy to reconsider (without the time constraint of
 wanting/needing to put out two releases within 10 days)!
