Invoking a static method from an instance

someFoo.someStaticMethod() is a piece of awfulness that leads nowhere good. I think many teams would love to just make it an error.

(Hmm, I believe javac may do this already as of JDK 7)

I checked and javac 7 has a new Xlint option called "static" that checks for this and also accessing static fields from an instance. I'm working on a check for this anyway since we need to do the cleanup.

This check should also look for accesses to static fields from an instance.
