Description:
------------
Sometimes it is very convenient to use method from a class statically, but while implementing such a function there's no way to determine how this function is used.

executing this line from a static method call returns 1
print_r(isset($this));

while operations with is_object($this), gettype($this) etc. results in PHP Notice:  Undefined variable:  this in c:\httpd\.php\pear\File\Find.php on line 198



Reproduce code:
---------------
// executed from static method call
print_r(isset($this));

Expected result:
----------------
FALSE

Actual result:
--------------
1
