Static class members/methods and scope

[Mike Parker]

I'm certain this used to work:

class Foo
{
     public static
     {
         void bar() {}
     }
}

But I've found that now, anything inside the public static block is not 
actually static. I get an error attempting to call Foo.bar(). If I do this:

class Foo
{
     public
     {
         static void bar() {}
     }
}

...it works as expected. I tested with the override attribute, in case 
the handling of attributes had changed while I was away, but it works 
fine using the first form. I assume this is a bug, or a regression. Am I 
correct?
