Bug description:Static accessors through variables only work on simple variables

Description:
------------
Using a static operator ( :: ) works for simple variables (
$foo::function() ), 
but results in an undefined variable warning for the class name at run-time
when 
using a class property ( ${$bar->foo}::function() ).  Obviously, a direct
access 
attempt ( $bar->foo::function() ) fails with a parse error.

Test script:
---------------
class A {
    public $referrer = 'B';
}

class B {
    public static function foo() {
        echo "Foo";
    }
}

$b = 'B';
$a = new A();

$b::foo();

${$a->referrer}::foo();

$c = $a->referrer;
$c::foo();

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to see

Foo
Foo
Foo

Actual result:
--------------
This is the result:

Foo
Notice (8): Undefined variable: B
Foo
