Basically I want to forward the *static* call to T if possible(if 
foo exists in T). The main problem is actually calling T.foo as 
the syntax here doesn't work. I also need to be able to check to 
see if a method is static, since I have no object.

you're probably gonna want something like, if i understand your 
question correctly:
return __traits(getMember, T, "foo")(args);

Here I suspect you're looking for this:
__traits(isStaticFunction, __traits(getMember, T, "foo"))

Thanks.

It needs to be something like

static if (hasMemeber!(T, "foo") && __traits(isStaticFunction, 
__traits(getMember, T, "foo")))
