Re: static object access

I have already thought about that, too. But I'm not sure if you really need it. Most time you could easily assign a real object to the template and call it's methods. I have some classes with static methods but for now I haven't had to call them from within my templates. Static method calls work exactly the same as plugin functions. Normal calls behave a bit different because they depend on the values of the current object. So there's a reason for supporting object method calls. But I don't see one for static calls. On the other hand if you include real OOP support in Smarty you have to make static method call possible.
