(Note: will not be posted until 8/14)
  
+ Mantis 696

Based on a discussion thread for this topic, static methods in
parameterized classes is close to providing sufficient capability:

  class F #(parameter type T = logic);
    static function logic [$bits(T)-1:0] f_inv (T in);
      logic [$bits(T)-1:0] in_vec;
      in_vec = {>>{in}};
      return ~in_vec;
    endfunction
  endclass

  module statclass(output logic [31:0] out,
                   input logic [31:0] in);
    always_comb
      out = F#(.T(type(in)))::f_inv(bar);
  endmodule

A limitation for this solution is the lack of static parameterized
functions. Discuss this as the potential solution.

+ Mantis 210
