static classes unsupported?

[kobi7]

if I set "is shared" on class, I get an error. (cannot declare instance members in a static class)

class ConsoleUtils is shared
	pass

the same is true for:

class ConsoleUtils is shared
    def x is shared
        pass

Is this by design?
(the benefit in setting a class static, is that it ensures all other members are static)

Thanks alot!
