'type': static types cannot be used as return types

A static type as a return type is not meaningful since instances of static types cannot be created.

The following sample generates CS0722:

// CS0722.cs
public static class SC
{
}


public class CMain
{
   public SC F()  // CS0722
   {
      return null;
   }

   public static void Main()
   {
   }
}
