Type parameters on static methods don't work right

[brson]

This test specifies the type parameters to from_inty but rustc says it didn't.

pub trait Nummy {
    static pure fn from_inty<T>() -> self;
}

impl float: Nummy {
    static pure fn from_inty<T>() -> float { 0.0 }
}

fn main() {
    let _1:float = Nummy::from_inty::<int>(1i);
}

[msullivan]

Static methods have an implicit type parameter for the self type. Calling it with
Nummy::from_inty::<float, int>().

This is, at least, my intended behavior when I implemented them. It isn't clear to me what else would be sensible. This mostly sounds like a documentation problem?

Fixed in #8477 -- close this when it lands.
