I still don't understand what the problem is? What should be documented is the right way to use these calls.
problem 1 : how do I call the "::" operator and how do I call what it does if it is no static call.
problem 2 : the "bug" with incorrect $this I mentioned, it is at least unexcpected and should be documented (that you can't rely on $this using "::" ) but since no one likes undefined behaviour it would be fine to see it fixed - my opinion is that using "::" $this should never be set to anything...
PEAR relies on the $this being correct even when you call a method which is not in the current class or in one of its parent classes?
no, it simply uses "::" that is an undocumented feature
Where can I see the documentation? (Any chance you can send it here to save me the time? :).
We just need to be sure we don't document things which aren't necessarily supposed to work.
