But that's not the point! Why can I use "::" to do foo::foo() from outside any class in PHP to get someting very similar to a static method call ( PIKEs NameOfModule.Function(), C++ NameOfClass::Method() or Java's NameOfClass.Method() ) ? If I can use it outside any class, why not making foo::bar beeing a read-only access to class property ?
