9 * If you have a class that's mostly/entirely static, and you need static
10 * properties, you can use this method to simulate them. Eg. in your method(s)
11 * do this: $myVar = &PEAR5::getStaticProperty('myclass', 'myVar');
12 * You MUST use a reference, or they will not persist!
15 * @param string $class The calling classname, to prevent clashes
16 * @param string $var The variable to retrieve.
17 * @return mixed A reference to the variable. If not set it will be
18 * auto initialised to NULL.
