When I convert a function to a templated function (for example because I know the value of an argument at compile time, so using a template gives me a poor's man partial compilation) the static variables get duplicated for each instance of the function template, and I may need to use true global variables/constants (but if you use link-time optimization then LDC is able to remove such shared constants). So I was thinking about a "static static" attribute that avoid moving the statics to globals. Is this a useless idea?
