I noticed that static method overloading was (__callStatic). The two would complement each other and it just seems natural to add these as well. I did notice that they are apart of the "static-class" RFC and a bug report, but it would be nice to see these in 5.3. With this addition and LSB, php classes can do so much! Ex: __setStatic() __getStatic() __issetStatic() __unsetStatic() RFC: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/static-classes Bug Report: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45002
