I think we could propose a better naming, method name `function __staticConstructor` is a concatenation of the words static and constructor while constructor is used as an initializer when building constructing objects. Have you considered naming it for example shortly function __static() ? It is somehow similar to https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_constructor#java in static-block. Cheers, Michał Marcin Brzuchalski
