The fact that it ignores the child class if it doesn't
define a matching static method and instead changes its
context to that of the parent is expected? How does that
make sense if it inherits the parent class? If it does,
indeed, inherit the parent class, it will have the static
method, not having to go to the parent and ignore the
child's existence.
I understand that finding methods and the like from parents
can be tricky, having to navigate the inheritence tree, but
it's unexpected to suddenly become the parent class when
you're working with the child class.
I may not sway you to keep this open as an actual bug (as I
see it), but your answers will at least teach me, if nothing
else, the mindset of the core developers et al.
I'd like to know if late static binding is considered a
feature or a bug fix. If it is a bug fix, then you're right:
this bug report is just a duplicate. However, if the late
static binding really is just a feature to cover this up, I
see a potential problem. I'd like to know, really, if this
is considered a bug or a mere inconvenience.

>hey, this is a bug, because the child class should
>inheret its parents innards'
That's EXACTLY what it does and I personally consider this expected.
The child inherits parents context, what's wrong here?
But we're working on late static binding, which would change this
behaviour to the expected one, that's why there is no sense in keeping
this report open.
Thank you.

I did search, and I see something beyond 'late static
binding' here. The child class (or the parser) is leaving
its context in search of the method to inheret, but it
doesn't bring it into its context. In fact, it takes the
user into the parent's context. It changes its context.
This goes beyond simply saying that you're trying to figure
out how to do 'late static binding', and more into the realm
of 'hey, this is a bug, because the child class should
inheret its parents innards, and _stay within its context_.'
Am I mistaken in this thought? Is is perfectly OK and not a
bug that the context itself is changed?
I submitted this bug because I don't think the previous bug
submissions adequately described the issue at hand. Please
read the description.
