Say you have class A:

class A {
static function Ponder() {
/* ... */
}
}

and class B, which extends A:

class B extends A {
/ *... */
}

Now if I call B::Ponder(), is there anyway for Ponder() to know that it was
invoked from class B? What I'm trying to do is use to reflection API in an
ancestor class to introspect its descendants.
