would resolve this inconsistency by consistently not supporting it.

Not a big fan of this, but we probably should support it for parity with call_user_func.

Description:
------------
When calling dynamically a static method, with array('static', 'method'), from
the right class context, PHP emits an error 'Class 'static' not found'.
Using call_user_func($method); with the same array, leads to the correct call to the method.
The same problem applies to 'self' and 'parent'.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class x {
static function a() {
// display the current class
echo __METHOD__;
}
static function b($method) {
// display the current class with method a above
call_user_func($method);
// This stops with a Fatal Error
$method();
}
}
(new x)->b(array('static', 'a'));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
x::a
x::a
Actual result:
--------------
x::a
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'static' not found
