The single meaning of static is:  allocate storage in the appropriate
(text code or data) segment and make the symbol not accessible outside
this module.  When used inside a function, "module" means "function";
when used outside, "module" means "file".  [Maybe these are a differ-
ent two distinct meanings.]
