It's needed when you implement a convention based system where the
name of the Class has a meaning. For example in an OORDBMS mapping
system, the name of the class could be the table name.
2) "static" is really bad name. I suggest "caller", Marcus thought
about "class".
Yeah static is very confusing and I think it's a bad idea.
I'm trying to think what a non-confusing way would be. Some
ideas would be:
a) using "class" e.g. class::method()
b) change behavior of self:: to always be "virtual" and have people
use class_name::method()
Any other ideas?
static::foo()
class::foo()
caller::foo()
owner::foo()
Thanks. Dmitry.
I think we should solve this issue but let's
brainstorm and find the right way, both syntax wise and
implementation wise (without breaking opcode caches).
