another problem i've found

interface itest
{
   static void blub(){};
}

class A: itest
{
   void blub(){};
}

class A overrides (silently) the static blub from the interface with an 
normal method

itest it = new A();

A.blub(); // error - not a static
it.blub(); // ok

or

interface itest
{
   static void blub(){}
}

class A: itest
{
   static void blub(){}
}

class A just override blub()
