Static function conflicts with Non-Static?!

This is brought up periodically, and I don't really buy it. _Maybe_ there's a 
scenario where it would help, but typeof makes it trivial to get the type so 
that you can call a static function with the type, and I'd consider it 
questionable to insist on it with the idea that some classes would have a 
static version of the function and some a non-static version. That just seems 
like bad design.
