Can't use type this in a static getter, but I can if its a method.. with a generic. But getters don't support generics.

Bug Report

In the following code

class Base {
	static get Class()/*: this*/ {
		return this;
	}
}
class A extends Base {}
class B extends Base {}

const x = A.Class; // typeof Base 👎 Should be typeof A
const y = B.Class; // typeof Base 👎 Should be typeof B

The type of this is not inferred correctly as it would do if it were an instance method.
But it works as expected if the static getter is changed to a method with generics workaround trickery.

class Base {
	static Class<T>(this: T) {
		return this;
	}
}
class A extends Base {}
class B extends Base {}

const x = A.Class(); // typeof A 🎉
const y = B.Class(); // typeof B 🎉

But then I'm forced to use a method call instead of a property access. I want a property 😥
