I discussed with Lukas what he meant by "I agree". A lot of
misunderstanding in this thread :)

One sure thing, $this should not be set in static methods.

I do not care that much but I like to see a notice in E_STRICT mode if a
method explicitly declared as static is called from an instance of the
object.

About this topic, see my other post. It's a patch that add fn_flags
(method flags like public, private) to the getMethod() result.
