I suspect there is an interaction with nested functions here.  If you 
allow static functions to be defined within a block, and we do, then you 
must also allow static declarations of functions within a block. 
However, we could give a warning if a block contains a static function 
declaration, but no matching nested static function definition.  We 
would not be able to give this warning until the end of the block, since 
the function definition could appear anywhere within the block. (I'm 
thinking ISO C99 rules here).
