Bug description: self:: Accessing methods from within methods without an instance
When inside a class method, there is no "denormalised" way to get at other
methods "statically" i.e.:
class foo(){
function bar(){
// do not use $this;
}
function otherbar(){
foo::bar();// <--- allow self::bar()
}
}
foo::otherbar();
If foo was an extension of some other class foobase, it could get at the
foobase::methods with the "parent::" construct. In other words to get at my
parent's method I do not need to know its name, but if I am not an instance
I can not get at my own methods without giving my name.
Since you can call a class method without an instance, this seems a natural
extension of php's ::
Thank you all
