Thanks for the quick replies.
I wasn't aware that the pointer-to-bool conversion is considered by gcc to be
better than a char*-to-std::string conversion.
I also thought, that the first thing the compiler would do, is to
rule out any non-static methods when a static method is inquired;
but apparently I was wrong.

I'll mark the issue as resolved then.
