Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] call_user_func, static calls, and $this
From: tater@potatoe.com (Brad Bulger)

semi-related: __call is somewhat reversed. it will catch 
call_user_func(array('self','fake')), but not self::fake()
(same for parent vs parent:: or randomclass vs randomclass::)
the visibility of $this is not changed, so you end up with
no $this inside __call. it can be a surprise.
