-:3:17: PLW0211 First argument of a static method should not be named cls

This contradicts https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#basic-customization which uses cls and states that __new__() is a static method.

PEP20 statement Explicit is better than implicit. suggests that @staticmethod should be allowed in this code.
