Most people will think, that it will output AB. But currently in PHP
5.2 (I don't have PHP 5.3 to test it) it will output:
A
Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::nb() in
Z:\localhost\testLSB.php on line 11

User that sees this, doesn't have any idea where is the problem and
how to find some information about it.


If I may throw my 2 cents in, if it's even worth anything anyway. This 
is exactly what I would expect the output to be.

If you would want A::mB() to go back to B::nB() I would switch the 
self::nB() to static::nB(), and have an abstract nB() method declared in 
A. Is this not how everyone thinks it should be?
