 +==== Pro ====
 +  * The last syntax allows to call static methods unambiguously
 +  * Functions and constants supported
 +
 +==== Contra ====
 +  * The model is more complex and may be confusing for the new users.
 +  * Unqualified name resolutions for classes and functions/constants are slightly different due to the different usage patterns.
 +  * New syntax for static access
