For static methods this could be object (why not - it will be ignored)

Allowing a parameter and then completely ignoring it is what got us into this situation in the first place. Why does this... $a = new reflectionMethod('A', 'foo'); $a->invoke(new DateTime); ...make any more sense than this? $a = new reflectionMethod('A', 'foo'); $a->invoke(42); If you want to allow an object to be passed in, it should act the same way as a string - specify the binding context: $a = new reflectionMethod('A', 'foo'); $a->invoke(new B); // equivalent to $a->invoke('B'); It should also go through the same check as it would for a non-static method: must be an instance of the class being reflected.
