Johnathan, const static members are compile time beasts.  There are almost
macros like #define, but not quite as the compiler will give them storage if
you take their address.  I don't think it is a good idea to add another
paradigm into this. Nor does your example explain how the field moved and was
correctly assigned in the code I gave above with method() - if I were to accept
your example as valid, then that code would not work - but it does, there is
is.  You can compile it, and get the memory dumps yourself in gdb.  Can you
speak to that example with method()?  That would be very useful.
