Operating system: Irrelevant
PHP version:      5.2.1
PHP Bug Type:     Class/Object related
Bug description:  static and non-static functions can't have the same name

Description:
------------
When declaring two functions in a class (methods) non-static and static
functions may not use the same names.

While I understand this, this is essentially wrong since static methods
and non-static methods are entirely different.

This also leads me on to another bug/feature suggestion I'm about to file
about not being able to overload static attributes with __set/__get.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Example {
    public static function test() {}
    public function test() {}
}

$example = new Example();
$example->test();
Example::test();

Expected result:
----------------
No errors, all methods called correctly.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP errors with: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Example::test()
