Sure, but how PHPish is this fatal error?

mike@honeybadger:~/build/php-5.2-debug$ cli -r 'class c{} c::$x=1;'

Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property:  c::$x in Command
line code on line 1

The idea, as far as I understood, was to allow this things with
non-strict classes once we have strict classes.
