const {resolve} = Promise; // fails

I think my next code example is less clever, but the only reason I've
written hacks or code was not to be advocated or adopted, just to explain
what could happen internally.

TL;DR why aren't public static methods that need context **all** lazily
defined as bound (once) on demand? That would make every single public
static method consistent, accordingly with the Class you extracted them
from, right? That's not clever, that's usually developers expectations
because historically all public static methods don't need the Class to work.
