Simplify classnames calls in ObjectScript

Currently everyone use ##class(classname).methodname() to call it.

e.g.

do ##class(Sample).ClassMethod()

This is one of the painful moments about ObjectScript for developers.

Can we introduce a parallel support of more simplified way, as:

#classname.methodname()

so this will be:

do #Sample.ClassMethod()


The idea is that # is a differentiator classmethod from instance method.

and there will be no more ##class() overtyping.

previous approach will be supported as it were.
