+  GN: in XOTcl, it is hard to avoid NX (e.g. slots). we have this mix there. Reality shows,
+    that users are confused, if they want to create an instance, but they receive just
+    an error message. Mybe on the longer range, we can drop the hint.
+    For the time being, I've made the hint even more verbose.

 TODO:
 
-- the 'consider' recommendation of nx::Class->unknown message is irritating:
 
-  % Class create Book
-  ::Book
-  % Book price set 10
-  method 'price' unknown for ::Book; consider '::Book create price set 10' instead of '::Book price set 10'
-    ::Book ::nx::Class->unknown
-    invoked from within
-  "Book price set 10"
-  ...
-
-  "::Book create price set 10" is per se a likely invalid call. Just:
-  "::Book create price"? Or, just drop the unknown message at all? As
-  this is only relevant for someone with XOTcl legacy in mind, NX is
-  not about source compatibility with XOTcl anyways.
- 
 - Investigate NsfMethodContext mem-bookkeeping/ possible leak:
