I don't see it doing anything useful.

In constant context, self:: may work, but static:: can't work for
obvious reasons. parent:: can be made work too I think - though the
class may not be known at the run time, its name should be.

As for runtime context, static:: can be made work too but I wonder why
bother if we have perfectly good get_called_class()...
