While I investigated the implementation of the instance method
`$getStaticMetaClass`, I found It seems that `$getStaticMetaClass` can also
be put in an interface too, because we can get static information via
reflection( e.g. `this.getClass().getField("$staticClassInfo")` ) ;-)
```

It will break many existing code. In addition, that will make Groovy less
object oriented IMHO, e.g. `groovyObj.foo()` VS
`InvokerHelper.invokeMethod(groovyObj, "foo", EMPTY_OBJECT_ARRAY)`, I prefer
the former...
