:func:`classmethod` for a variant that is useful for creating alternate class
constructors.
+ Like all decorators, it is also possible to call ``staticmethod`` as
+ a regular function and do something with its result. This is needed
+ in some cases where you need a reference to a function from a class
+ body and you want to avoid the automatic transformation to instance
+ method. For these cases, use this idiom:
+
+ class C:
+ builtin_open = staticmethod(open)
+
For more information on static methods, consult the documentation on the
standard type hierarchy in :ref:`types`.

See :pep:`484` for details and comparison with other typing semantics.
-.. decorator:: no_type_check(arg)
+.. decorator:: no_type_check
Decorator to indicate that annotations are not type hints.
- The argument must be a class or function; if it is a class, it
+ This works as class or function :term:`decorator`. With a class, it
applies recursively to all methods defined in that class (but not
to methods defined in its superclasses or subclasses).
This mutates the function(s) in place.
-.. decorator:: no_type_check_decorator(decorator)
+.. decorator:: no_type_check_decorator
Decorator to give another decorator the :func:`no_type_check` effect.
