Accessing static members on type variables

[Raffaele Sgarro]

Still, it compiles and runs successfully, so there must be some piece of
code in the compiler that replaces the type variable with its bound, and
that piece of code must be intentional.

I didn't test with JDK8 (or any compiler other than 1.7)
