[Laszlo-dev] [JIRA] Assigned: (LPP-5930) RTMP: API-change, rename "call" method

[P T Withington]

That would be fine if you had a way to make the _static_ methods  
final.  Call and apply are built-ins on the _class_, not on instances  
of the class.  If you want to make the schema smarter, my proposal is  
that we add a property to methods and attributes of LZX classes called  
`allocation`, so you would say:

<class Instance>
   <method name="call" allocation="class" final="true" />
   <method name="apply" allocation="class" final="true" />
   ...
