I would argue that that should compile, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if 
it doesn't - especially because of the stupidity that makes it so that you can 
call static functions with member instances, muddying the differences between 
static and non-static in terms of how you call them. And the fact that you 
can't overload a function as static and non-static (probably due to the 
aforementioned nonsense) just makes it worse. So, much as this _should_ work 
IMHO, it doesn't surprise me at all if it doesn't.
