I think Mike illustrated this in his post. Or do you want a "real" world example?
2) "static" is really bad name. I suggest "caller", Marcus thought about
"class".
I dont really see an issue with calling the thing "static" considering its about late static binding. Also AFAIK this name was agreed upong in Paris. A meeting you also attended.
I actually don't recall there was consensus on even adding this feature in the Paris meeting, let alone how to name it.
Either way, implementation wise, as Dmitry said - storing runtime information in zend_function or zend_op_array is simply out of the question.
