On second thoughts, I don't think dynamic properties can apply at all. 
The notion of `$this` is a reference to an object instance; static 
classes cannot be instantiated, so the concept of dynamic properties 
simply cannot exist, and that's really all there is to it 😅 (unless I'm 
missing something).

Cheers,
