Note that the help for Inner1 is listed in the section of the help for 
Outer headed “Static methods defined here:”. So all that’s happening is 
that the help() function is looking for class members that have been put 
through staticmethod(), whatever their type is, and I think recursively 
putting them through their own help() calls.
