Description:
------------
The documentation for traits indicates that "it is not possible to instantiate 
a Trait on its own", but I have noticed that a trait can be called directly if 
it has a static property or method, as per the below example.  Is this intended 
behavior?  Or should traits be restricted from being called directly?  I was 
under the impression that traits cannot be called directly per the 
documentation.  If not, is there a way to prevent traits from being called 
directly as in the below example?

Test script:
---------------
<?php
trait t1
{
    public static $a1 = 'test1';

    public static function test()
    {
        return 'test2';
    }
}

echo t1::$a1."\n";
echo t1::test()."\n";


Expected result:
----------------
Fatal Error that traits cannot be called directly.

Actual result:
--------------
test1
test2
