Why shouldn't C#(or .NET) allow us to put a static/shared method inside an interface?
seemingly duplicate from here.  but my idea is a bit different one, I just want to put a helper for my plugins(interface)
shouldn't C# at least allow this idea?

  Provides access to the window handle
  of the main form (window) of the
  application.
property Handle: HWND;

            Couldn't find_if just be an overload of find? That's how std::binary_search and friends do it...
