Why don't you invoke the consenting adults now? People have come here
arguing for all kind of extra features, which would somehow defend
against messing with certain variable or attributes the author wants
protected. The general respons has always been, that we are consenting
adults here.

Static variables, are just a feature to protect what is essentially
a global variable against messing from somewhere else. So why is
this feature worthy of discussion and others are not?
