Accessing static members on type variables

[Alex Buckley]

Membership of the type variable T is specified by JLS 4.4 and 4.9. The 
members of T are the same as the members of a class QQQ whose direct 
superclass is Outer. Since QQQ would inherit FIELD from Outer, T has a 
member FIELD. There is nothing special about FIELD being static.
