Yep. I was thinking mainly of methods not of static variables. I still think this:: is the best way (better than class::)

Hello Andi,
Here is an example where changing self to late binding would change behavior:
class A {
static $a = "hello world";
static function getA() {
return self::$a;
}
}
class B extends A {
static function dosomething() {
echo self::getA();
}
}
B::dosomething();
If self becomes late binding, the location of self::$a jumps from A to B, where it is undefined. Is kind of thing significant in the wild? I don't know.
Regards,
Jeff
