"class names" don't because, people expect their results to be context-independent. It is just a call of "some method" on "some class". "parent", on the other hand, implies "inheritance". self and static should do forwarding too, I think, because they are context-dependent by design. forwardind is expected here > > At second, it's too complicated. > > I would propose more consistent (from my point of view) and simpler patch. > > Each call to static method of parent class (it doesn't mater if it was > done using parent:: or something else) assumes forwarding of called context. > > Thanks.
