From technical point of view it is possible to propagate LSB with self::,
parent::, and static:: and not with CLASS::.
I think it may be a good compromise.
I am very much in favor of this. I think it allows the greatest amount of control. If you need a specific class's static method called then passing that class' name is the best idea. i would question wether it is a good idea to make self:: work like that though.
Thanks. Dmitry.

Is it possible or feasible to distinguish betwenn parent::
and NameOfParentClass::? That would allow to push a call "up"
while preserving the called name while not making Class::
mean different things depending on the location of the call,
which is a very bad thing IMO (it's an effect that may not be
desired).
