Consider this snippet:

public team class MyTeam<E> {
    protected class R {
        static void test(E e) {}
    }
}

Here the compiler complains that it cannot access the non-static type E
from a static context. However, in contrast to Java we support static
methods in non-static member types, so staticness does not apply when
looking at MyTeam.
