Absolutely not. PHP is already odd enough as it is. We should not add
additional oddness in the interest of pushing a new screw-shaped feature
in with a sledgehammer. Any additional oddity makes it harder for Junior
developers and developers coming from a different language to learn PHP
and also required the developer to learn the language details by heart
instead of being able to rely on their intuition.
I'm already leaning towards "Don't want static classes", but if they use
an attribute instead of a keyword, then it's going to be a clear "no".
