The safest path is via the typed AST:

```haxe
switch Context.typeExpr(e).expr {
  case TField(_, FStatic(_.get() => cl, _.get() => f)):
    trace(cl.pack.concat([cl.name]).join('.') + '.' + f.name + '=' + TypedExprTools.toString(f.expr()));
  default:
}

```

In this case you’ll find that `f.expr().expr` is `TConst(TString(v))` where `v` is the value you’re after.
