No, your example would work. WHere it breaks down is if you want to
specialize B::find();
class B extends A {
static function find($id) {
/* do something special */
parent::find($id);
}
}
in that situation A::find(); would not be able to know it was being
called by B::find() because parent:: is considered an explicit class
name reference.
