Morning Pieere, Dmitry, all ... Actually it's not so simple ... for object properties we have ASSIGN_OBJ opcode, but we don't have a special opcode for static properties, and ASSIGN doesn't have any information about where the var came from, and nor should it have that information ...
I'm going to stick the original decision, static properties don't belong until typed variables are a thing ...
