static inheritance in a class object

["Kevin" <DaneelOne@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone know why class static vars are inherited?  (See code below)

class A
{
   public static $CONFIG = null;
}

A::$CONFIG = "A";

class B extends A
{
   public static $CONFIG = null;
}

B::$CONFIG = "B";

print ("A: " . A::$CONFIG . "<br>");
print ("B: " . B::$CONFIG . "<br>");
