I am not sure about that. There's been a long-standing tradition that allows
accessing static members via instance references.

struct S
{
    static void bar() {}
}

void main()
{
    S s;
    s.bar(); // works but could fail

    static void foo()
    {
        s.bar(); // fails but could work
    }
}
