+`self` keyword was used in a static method. Example of erroneous code:

+```
+struct Foo;

+impl Foo {

+
+    fn foo() {
+        self.bar(); // error: `self` is not available in a static method.

+}

+
+Please verify you didn't forget to add `self` in your method's argument
+list if your intention wasn't to create a static method. Example:
+
+```
+struct Foo;
+
+impl Foo {
+    fn bar(self) {}
+
+    fn foo(self) {
+        self.bar(); // ok!
+    }

+
+Or please verify you didn't misspell the variable's name:
+
+```
+struct Foo;
+
+impl Foo {
+    fn foo(sel: i32) {
+        println!("{}", sel); // ok!
