Well, that sounds reasonable; but I would just consider that a bad
design or even naming problem, nothing that would have to be
interdicted by the language itself?

Besides that - I think I've seen compiler errors that say static
members have to be qualified with a type name, not an instance
(CS0176)? But probably that gets off-topic here.
