I couldn't tell what you meant by this...  I would expect that a Type would tell you that static members exist, and their type, etc.  But I wouldn't expect a Type to be able to get a value for a static member.  After all, the type comes from some Module, which could be shared amongst a bunch of processes in lldb.  The actual member value could be different in each of these processes, but since the Type has no process, it has no way to get the correct value.
