Bug description:  __get() and __set() don't work for static variable calls

Description:
------------
As per bug report: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39678

"Static class attributes cannot be accessed using __get and 
__set methods."

Also, for reference to "__callStatic" see:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26739

With the implementation of __callStatic in PHP 5.3, will there be an
implementation of similar functions __getStatic() and __setStatic()?

For example, so replacing __get and __set with __getStatic() and
__setStatic() respectively will produce the "Expected Output" below?

Reproduce code:
---------------
class myClass {

        public function __set($name,$value) {
                echo "Setting: " . $name . " to " . $value."\n";
                self::$$name = $value;
        }

        public function __get($name) {
                echo "Getting: " . $name . "\n";
        }
}

myClass::$myStaticVar = "test";
echo myClass::$myStaticVar;

Expected result:
----------------
Setting: myStaticVar to test
Getting: myStaticVar

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property:  
myClass::$myStaticVar
