Well, you said 2.0 which is why I asked, it's not 2.0, it's 3.0. It will let you add instance methods by using a convention similar to what programmers already do, create utility classes with only static methods, and they'll appear as instance methods on the classes you're extending, very much like extension methods in Smalltalk. However, since 2.0 was just released it's kind of pointless, 3.0 is vaporware and will be for quite some time.
