To make the whole discussion sensible, I would like you read and
understand what it means for an object to be a static data member in
C++. Mark's proposal isn't to make "static" stop working. Please,
take a look at what "static data member" means in C++. The core
issue isn't about "static", it is about implicit instantiation
implementation. That is orthogonal to "static" semantics. Confusing
the two notions will at best confuse the discussion.
