Then this is a docs issue. Because I do not expect anything to be
executed after a return...

Static variables are resolved in compile time.
Expected behaviour.

Description:
------------
The code has been tested on PHP 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1 various minors.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function storage($key) {
  static $storage = array('a' =>  array('x', 'y'));
  return $storage[$key];
  static $storage = array('x', 'y'); // comment this out to see
expected result
}
var_dump(storage('a'));

Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=> 
  string(1) "x"
  [1]=> 
  string(1) "y"
}


Actual result:
--------------
NULL
