Bug description:  static dotnet classes can't be called

Description:
------------
$test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.IO.File');

That yields a "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with
message 'Failed to instantiate .Net object [CreateInstance] [0x80131513] '"
error.  Per the comments on php.net/class.dotnet, I thought this might
work, instead, but it doesn't:

$test = new DOTNET('mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=x86',
'System.IO.File');

The example on php.net, however, does work:

$test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.Collections.Stack');

I think what the problem really is is this: System.IO.File is a static
class.  It's not intended to be instantiated whereas
System.Collections.Stack is.  In light of this, I think either the ability
to call methods within static dotnet classes ought to be added or, failing
that, a note should be added to the documentation stating that only
instantiatable classes can be used with the DOTNET object.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$test = new DOTNET('mscorlib', 'System.IO.File');

Expected result:
----------------
(nothing)

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to
instantiate .Net object [CreateInstance] [0x80131513] ' in
C:\path\to\test.php:3
Stack trace:
