It does not provide a solution to a currently unsolvable problem, it
is simply a convenience for situations when you want a class to
perform any kind of initialization directly after compilation/loading
(whatever term you find easier on the ears).
It provides a cleaner more encapsulated approach to a (not entirely
uncommon) case such as:
Foo.php:
class Foo {
// class body
}
Foo::registerSomeStuff();
Just a idea I wanted to share,
