This might not be too helpful, but another way to approach statics is
to first note that the rules for statics are almost the same as rules
for volatile. They could even be rephrased as such. But unlike
volatiles, they can sometimes be optimized a little bit. Or, sometimes
pessimized, due to initialization checks.
