Interestingly, this works even if makeNew is static (as factory methods =

usually are). Don't know whether by design or by bug. If by the latter, =

please don't fix it ;)

Yep, it's intentional. It's explained in a rather hard-to-find spot:

"There are three special cases:

 1. typeof(this) will generate the type of what this would be in a non-
static member function, even if not in a member function.
 2. Analogously, typeof(super) will generate the type of what super 
would be in a non-static member function.
 3. typeof(return) will, when inside a function scope, give the return 
type of that function."
