Properties: I don't remember what problem these try to solve. It's difficult to discuss one way or the other without an example. STATIC_SELF: It has an ugly name so as not to tempt people to use it. My understanding is that the best use of this is in accessor methods, where you know it's okay to violate encapsulation because the only way you could get to the method is if someone did not override it.
