Re: Re: [VOTE] ::class feature to resolve namespaced class names to scalars

As for runtime context, static:: can be made work too but I wonder why bother if we have perfectly good get_called_class()... -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
