I can see most of them being useful independently from the class, but pulling _SwapModifiersMenuItem() out of the class context makes no sense to me.
About that article: don't just believe everything that is written.There is only one good reason for moving member functions out of the class context: reusability in other contexts. If stuff belongs to a class, it should be there, and not live as a static function.
There is another one to make member functions static, though: you save one argument on the stack (the object) which makes for a slightly faster call.
Bye, Axel.
