I think the point of Stas reply was to use self:: instead of
parent::.
how would self help? that would mean calling this exact method, not
the method of parent-class
that way you could add the class name as a second parameter to the
parent method, without having to type it out in every call. Anyways,
I think the current situation is quite clear to me. then again, I
forgot if we also added new magic constants to go along with
__CLASS__ for this (aka __SELF__)?
that's possible, but some more "magic" seems to be "natural" here.
As I and several others proposed earlier the best option would be:
parent::method() thinks it is the same class as a caller
ClassName::method() thinks it is ClassName
this would be the least-surprise situation
actually i do not think this is obviously more intuitive than what we
currently have. also that would introduce BC issues. so i think
adding some new magic constants (if they are not yet added) would
probably solve the situation more or less, plus you have self:: if
you need to do something more complex. of course it adds some more
method calls.
