That's not always appropriate. In my frame system, an instance
can over-ride its class method. An instance can also remove the
over-ride and return to using the class method. If my redirector
eliminated itself, none of this would be possible.

One of the cool things about Perl's OO system is that it lets
us invent new type systems. This IMHO is its greatest strength.
Perhaps this is also why some OO people hate Perl's OO?
