It was already kind of discussed, and get_called_class makes more sense IMO.
"static class" is not self-descriptive. The class returned is the class that
was initially
referenced for the call, as in the class "called" initially.

They do, parent::foo(); should be the same as $class = get_parent_class();
$class::foo();
Of course, we can't make parent:: reference the parent class of the called
one, as it would break BC.
As in:
class A { }
class B extends A { public static function test() { echo get_class(new
parent), '-', get_parent_class(); } }
class C extends B { }
C::test(); // A-A and not B-B
