Was static member overloading added in PHP 5.3? 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

if the RFC for static classes will be accepted, static property
interceptors will be a part of the next PHP major version (might it be
5.4 or 6). So it won't make it into 5.3, but we will have that hopefully
in the future.
