PS: There are no plans to make non-static calls to static methods illegal, right?
What is the point in that? What advantage do you get using $this->someMethodName() [non-static call] over self::someMethodName() [static call]?

You don't need to create an object to make a static call. MyClass::MyFunc() works without objects, which is much faster than creating an instance and then invoking a method on it. Edin
