Description:
------------
There is no support for DIRECT access constants, static properties or static methods from static context. It means, that there is only "one-level" ability to access theese things.
We have to use workaround to eliminate this problem. But this workaround rises up a code and seems strange.

Test script:
---------------
echo config::$languageFile::error404;

Expected result:
----------------
The page was not found

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting ',' or ';'
-----------------------

The workaround is:

$languageFile = config::$languageFile;
echo $languageFile::error404;

The code above works. The direct access would be purer and easier.

The test script given could be a bit more complete. A complete version would be:

<?php
class Foo {
    static public $bar = "Bar";
}

class Bar {
    static public $baz = "Baz";
}

echo Foo::$bar::$baz;
?>

where I would expect an output of "Baz" instead of the given syntax error.
