I've already proposed that 1-2 months ago, but now seems to be a good time to discuss new things, so let's try again:
I believe it would be nice to be able to dynamically reference static
members, constants, and methods.
Currently, there is no way to do that and the only way would be to
create a static method and use call_user_func(array($classname, 'getThat'));
Could you describe a couple of use cases where you would use such things (i.e. in real world scripts/libraries)?
