When the template this parameter feature was added to the
language it was possible to use it for static methods:
class Foo
{
static void foo(this T)()
{
pragma(msg, T.stringof);
}
}
class Bar : Foo {}
Foo.foo(); // prints "Foo"
Bar.foo(); // prints "Bar"
For some reason this feature was removed, it might be that it
was never indented to work for static methods.
Can we make it work again for static methods? It would be
really handy for creating Objective-C bindings.
It was changed in this PR:

It's hard to tell whether it was intentional though. But IMO your
code should work, so I suggest you file a bug report.
