/// @assertion A static member invocation still only works on an uninstantiated
/// type literal. You can write List.copyRange, but not List<int>.copyRange.
///
/// Allowing List<int>.copyRange is confusing. The invocation will not have
/// access to the type parameter anyway, so allowing it is not going to help
/// anyone. The occurrence of List in List.copyRange refers to the class
/// declaration, treated as a namespace, not the class itself.
///
/// This goes for type aliases too. We can declare typedef MyList<T> = List<T>;
/// and typedef IntList = List<int>; and do MyList.copyRange or
/// IntList.copyRange to access the static member of the declaration of the type
/// being aliased. This is specially introduced semantics for aliases of class
/// or mixin types, not something that falls out of first resolving the type
/// alias to the class or mixin type. We do not allow MyList<int>.copyRange
/// either, even though we allow IntList.copyRange. They are not the same when
/// doing static member accesses.
///
/// @description Checks that List<int>.copyRange is a compile time error
/// @author sgrekhov@unipro.ru
