[swift-users] Why is static a keyword?

In Swift, you use `static in struct and enum` and `class in class`. For
example,

struct Foo {

    static func bar() {



    }

}


class ClassFoo {

    class func bar() {



    }

}


Another the `class func bar()` can replace to `static` as well. Here the
`static` and `class` are equal in functions of classes.


And `class` is a keyword.


class ClassFoo2 {

    static func bar() {



    }

}
